Do you believe in Gotland magic?
We do!
The miracle of Gotland lambs, the transformation from their black wool at birth to shiny silvercurls.
4 months later is now very evident when you walk around in the flock. To show how our lambs change until their 2nd summer, I have included some photos of our yearlings to compare with.
The natural shine increases with age in our Ervalla bloodlines. We have worked hard for more than 10 years to specifically achieve an outstanding silkiness and shine in our Gotland wool. It’s starts to look like I dreamed of when I moved with my Gotlands from Sweden to USA.
The selection we made on the way, especially during the years most of our sheep were raised in New Zealand, was a key factor on this journey. Plus I got hold of a unique Gotland ram born in USA with unparalleled color genetics a couple of years ago. Interestingly, this ram is out of a sire born 2013 in the Swedish Ervalla flock. The shine comes from 100% Swedish 🇸🇪 bloodlines.
Lamb evaluation is this weekend, the event where we score all wool parameters for each lamb, weigh them and determine their body conformation (meat yield score). Our lambs are raised on pasture. You can see all top scores and other information on our website from Sunday evening.
