TX - Gulf Coast Ram (no longer available)

[Childwanderer]

TX, near Houston.
GCN intact ram born 1/31/2019 available for sale.
Twin, polled, sired by a registered ram, pictured beside him below.
This sweetheart (we call him Chesterton) loves chin-scratchings. His father is a good-tempered registered GCN who peaceably stays with the ewes year-round. Chesterton had a buyer lined up, but circumstances changed leaving him available!

We have the flock sheared annually, and I use the wool both for spinning (total newbie!) and needle-felting.

The larger sheep right beside the ram is his sire.

Pretty sheep! Never heard of the breed but I like the looks of them.

Thank you! Gulf Coast Native Sheep are a heritage breed derived from Spanish lineage and adapted for our climate here in the Southeastern United States. They are valued for hoof-rot and parasite resistance and are known for being low-input, easy lambers. https://livestockconservancy.org/index.php/heritage/internal/gulf-coast

I'd like to add some good horn genetics to my flock at some point. Polled sheep are popular, but GCN horned rams are just beautiful.
