White Knight is our primary sire of the Spinning C Flock. He is a big gentle ram that wins everyones hearts. I enjoy spinning his silky fleece.
" Clean and lustrous! Finer and more uniform than most Border Leicester, without sacrificing staple length. Soft enough for sweaters, strong enough for socks. An excellent choice to blend with fine adult mohair. Staple length can be 6-10 inches with approx. 4-5 crimps per inch." We purchased him from Kathy of the Herbal Maid Fiber Farm in Rosebud Mo.
We then keep his daughters and they are bred to Liam, a registered BFL, that has the tiny string of pearls fleece.
The sires are sooo handsome! I might just have to try and spin some of that silky fleece! Love the good ol' girl commentary! Well said!
