We are pleased to announce the importation of New Zealand Gotland semen in 2009.
All Gotland sheep in the US thus far are from semen from one UK flock. This importation will provide genetic diversity in the small pool of US Gotlands. NZ Gotlands are also considered by many as having the finest wool of all Gotland sheep lines world-wide.

We primarily use Shetland and Finn sheep for our Gotland project. Crosses with those breeds provide the size, fleece fineness, head/tail structure and personality we're looking for in our Gotland sheep.
CONTACT US TO PURCHASE NEW ZEALAND SEMEN.
Semen offered for sale AT OUR COST as a service to others looking for improved fineness and genetic diversity in Gotlands sheep in North America.
