RETIRED RAMS (Selected)
BRANDUR (DL 320S)
5 May 2008
Brandur was a magnificent ram – a spotted black-gray badger, and he might have carried moorit, although he never had a moorit lamb. But the spotting made him mostly white. His fleece was incredibly long, soft and lustrous. He passed this trait on to his babies, too! He had small scurs, which made him a bit more deferential to his fellow rams than he might have been otherwise. His personality was sweet and gentle, and he was very well-mannered. He was a wonderful flock sire, and leaves behind some beautiful and productive offspring.
