Ewe a day - Kyrie

We have two ewes remaining from the class of 2014: Kyrie and Kelly Kelly, both moorits. I don’t remember why we only ended up with two, because that was a nice class, but that’s what it is.

Whispering Pines Kyrie is out of Whispering Pines Egyptian King and Pearl. I remember specifically targeting black lambs when I put those sheep together. Well, that failed, but we did end up with a nice moorit out of it. Her SF this year was 24.3 microns, which is quite nice for a three year old Shetland. It’s crept up by a micron each year that we’ve had her, so that warrants monitoring, but the density is there and I like the way her fourth fleece is coming in.
