They both feel really fine, but Ilke feels slightly softer. Either way, they are two of the softer ewes in our flock.

Sommarang Ilke
Proving how much I liked Firth of Fifth Avyt, I decided to buy another moorit daughter out of him. Ilke is another beautiful ewe. I didn’t go to Jefferson with the goal of buying up Avyt lambs, but once I saw him, I knew one wasn’t enough (of course, is it ever?). Ilke is out of Sommarang Comfrey, another of the amazing ewes that Lori owns. I prefer Isla if I had to pick one, but they are very close. Ilke’s micron test was: AFD: 20.2 CV: 4.5 CV: 22.3% CEM: 8.8 SF: 19.9. I think Ilke and Isla will have very similar yearling numbers, and certainly both will be keepers for next year.

A Comfrey X Avyt ewe lamb. sigh
I love the density of both of those sheep, so I'm going to guess that their daughter is loaded with it as well.
Some solid moorits must look good in your flock. :-)
