I lost a couple years of progress to a genetic issue that cost me a lot of lambs and I feel like I'm finally going in the direction I want. Still lots to improve but I'm happy with what I have.
Here are 3 of my breeding rams. The dude in front is getting traded for an unrelated 4 horned ram from one of the few other breeders in the area. The new boy is a lilac carrier so I'll be excited to see if I have any lilacs pop up next year. I only have a couple potential carrier ewes so it's not super likely but we'll see.

Those horns are impressive to say the least. They are all beautiful animals and I know you're proud of them.

Hawthorn is just a yearling, they get way more impressive as they mature.
One of my previous breeding rams, sold him last year because I kept back 2 daughters, own his grandmother, and he didn't like living with all my rams.
Twofer was actually from the first set of lambs born at my farm in 2011. He was a triplet. He's castrated and just a big teddy bear. His mom is my user picture, she's 13 years old now and still going strong.
