Soay
Sheep
We
obtined our starter flock of Soay
in January of 2010 from Bill Lilly
right after he lost his beloved
wife Linda in December 2009.
The
Lilly flock was 54 animals strong
when it was dispersed.
It was started from a pair of
Soay obtained from Bruce Poor
in Nantucket in 1997. The Lilly
flock had been pedigreed for several
years but was wildflocked for
the past several years due to
space limits at the Lilly Farm.
The Soays were not registered
due to the belief that there was
no registry. All the soays were
horned in this flock but there
were several different colors
including dark and light phase
with and without spots. The Lilly
flock only produced singles for
the 14 years that it was shepherded
by Bill and Linda Lilly.
Our
flock began where they left off.
We purchased 3 rams and 4 ewes
from Bill Lilly. They are descendents
of their first pair Ewelysses
and Ewephoria.
