“Hello, I’m Bernard. Read about me further down the page”
On April 21 2026 we began to post photos and information about sheep for sale and are close enough to finished May 12 to invite your scrutiny.
We have white lambs and agouti-recessive natural-colored lambs of both sexes ready to shift to your flock now or soon, and also a few white yearling ewes and a white mature ewe. The price of delivered hay is telling us to downsize. Talk to Rhonda in May or soon after to have the widest choice 845 217 1974.
Sidebar/rabbit hole on on “color” notation. In this writeup, the BB or BW letters added to an ARBA registration number that point to color in the ancestry we have affixed to the sheep’s flock number. A small r signifies that the B in BB (BB means sheep is colored and “has color genes in its ancestry”) speaks for that ancestor’s having been recessively colored by the agouti locus. A small x on BB means we think that the “color” is the expression of the dominant allele at the extension locus (often denoted as Ed). A small r or small x on a BW suffix indicates that the colored ancestor in this white sheep’s fleece comes was, respectively, agouti recessive or extension dominant.

Nostra culpa, we did not take early life photos of all the recessives to propose which color alleles at agouti appear to be directing the show. It’s too late for a rigorous catching-up. In Bina I think the salient allele is dark blue; the other one is darker yet or self.

Nostra culpa, we did not take early life photos of all the recessives to propose which color alleles at agouti appear to be directing the show. It’s too late for a rigorous catching-up. In Beth I think the salient allele is midnight blue Ambl; the other one is Ambl or self. This is not the right way to propose color alleles. Our apologies.

White Mature ewes
Zoe 3/7/25 Anchorage Farm 1921-24BW single Sire Anchorage Farm 1856-22 BW Tw dam Anchorage Farm 1830-22 Tw Anchorage 1856 was phenotypically white, as were both parents and all four grandparents. He had the BW suffix because his maternal grandsire, bred elsewhere, was found here to carry a single agouti-recessive allele. The suffix was supposed to be passed to all his progeny by re-registration; that did not always happen.
