We thought we had found a nice ram to replace Ringo but upon checking the registration papers, we had to back out. The foundation ram for 3 of our registered ewes was the same as the one we were looking to get. The ram was a son of Centralia that had been Grand Champion at the Louisville, KY sale several years ago. Plus there were two other common links in their heritage.
There are a bunch around we just need to head in the other direction. We won't be breeding anytime soon so it's no problem. Ringo has to move on anyway since most of our herd is his daughters.
Yeah, this batch of lambs are related to the ram I raised, so he had to go. He bred his mom, her daughter Scottie is big and beautiful, so that made him her Brother-Daddy? I will keep the first generation, but there will be no second generation.
I think you will like the lambs he throws. I weighed his ram lamb from Wild Thang yesterday. He is one month old today and yesterday weighed 37 pounds. Of course she is large also.
