The ram is the foundation of any flock. We generally use rams for breeding in 2 year cycles, and then seek out fresh genetics.
Don’t turn your back on these guys!

Gramdinho
Sired by Ballard, Dam is Scotch Lane ewe. This guy is an ideal specimen. Brings a killer front end, perfect hip, and serious length to our flock. Plan on mixing him with some deep ribbed females. Will breed in 2024 after showing complete.
