Spring Creek Border Leicesters,  Minnesota

Our pasture based, NSIP/LambPlan enrolled flock is carefully managed for carcass quality as well as premium fiber, and Spring Creek ewes have been selected for easy lambing and excellent mothering for more than 30 years. All animals trace back to legendary Canadian bloodlines, non black-factored.

The closed ewe flock obtained Certified status in USDA’s voluntary scrapie program in 2001 and is also Export Monitored. No foot rot or CLA; OPP test-negative since 1997; all animals genotyped for scrapie susceptibility/resistance and those offered for sale carry at least one “R” at codon 171 (flock is “AA” at codon 136). TMEM154 diplotype (OPPV susceptibility) also available for all rams.

Lambs are born in May and offered first come-first choice based on date of inquiry; no deposit required to be placed on our wait list. A select group of rams will be available later in the year. While all available 2013 ewe lambs have been spoken for, we’d be happy to place your name on our wait list for 2014, or for any adult ewes that may become available.
