RAMS 
(tupping on 24 October 2019) 

 

'Yohan', my senior stock ram has now served ewes for the third year and Bennedict, the other Hokkeling ram, was on duty for the second time.  The choice of two other rams is from the reliable female line of '911' and the first daughter of the beautiful 05655-29439. RHW1300279 her first daughter, is a strong and dominant ewe which produced two earlier stock rams, 'Wotan' and 'Yo Ben'.  Her son 'Brimstone' will be the third. Bossy like his dam, long and powerful with a lovely rump and fine fleece.  The other shearling used is 'Barbarossa' also a twin and a great grandson of my favourite ewe RHW08 560 who died last year.  He is a large and heavy ram with solid overall muscling.

Ram Archive

 some influential rams used over the years. 

Eryx August 1999

Eryx was a rare find: son of the famous 03938 - 2600 he was the most correct ram I had seen in the Commandeur flock so far. Blessed with a fine white head and the characteristic width in the hindquarters, he and his son Gonzales sired a pen of six shearling ewes which sold for the highest average in Lanark in 2003.
