Mini Starter Flock

$2400.00$2300.00

Starter Flock Package

This curated package offers an ideal foundation for starting a breeding program focused on compact size, hardiness, and heritage genetics. The trio includes two ewe lambs and one unrelated ram lamb, providing the genetic foundation needed to establish a small-scale flock.

All lambs in this package have completed their initial health protocols, having been fully vaccinated and boosted with CD&T. They will be registered with the North American Ouessant Association, and their future offspring will also be eligible for registration.

Because registration with the association tracks percentage lines, this package provides a highly adaptable foundation. Archer can be bred back to purebred Shetland ewes next year to produce offspring eligible for registration as percentage Ouessant, allowing you to quickly expand your recorded upbreeding program.
