The 30 year development of the unique Harelquin sheep has resulted in the soon to be established breed registry. The sheep are breeding true and consistent for fleece, color and body type enough to be able to call them a breed. The registry will require a small registration fee and side, front and rear view photos of potential registered sheep and proof that they are descended from original Black Sheep Farm or Black Sheep Farm East breeding stock. Due to the expenses of establishing the registry, Black Sheep Farm East must raise the price on the sheep to $400.00 for ram lambs and $450.00 for ewe lambs. Wethers for pets may still be available at lower prices. The final date for the registry is not finalized, but notice will be posted on the website when it happens, as well as information on how to register your Harlequin sheep. There will be two registries, one for the Miniature Harlequins and one for Standard Harlequins. We may also set up a way for sheep that are half-Harlequin to receive a temporary registration pending production of at least 3 qualifying Harlequin offspring.
