Good body length. Strong feet. Broad and vigorous ram.

Results: Grafeldur 08-894 was bought in 2013 when it was decided to buy a ram with special pelt qualities for AI. When breeding for pelt qualities five wool characteristics are evaluated:

1) Color, 2) Lock quality, 3) Fleece density, 4) Luster and 5) Fiber qualities.

Those qualities are easy to breed for because they have high heritability but it’s right to mention that first generation progenies will not be outstanding in pelt qualities unless Grafeldur is bred to ewes which are outstanding according to those qualities mentioned. In lamb evaluations at Bakkakot farms during the recent years Grafeldur‘s progenies have been above average in all mentioned qualities except fleece density were they have been at average.

Color inheritance: Geri’s color indicates that his offspring can be of any color.

Golsi 09-916

Description: Golsi is moorit badgerface, horned, beginning his second year as an AI ram. He‘s five years old and therefore becoming experienced as an leader ram. Golsi is tall and lightbodied as leader sheep are supposed to. He is curious with a brave looking face and fast movements as well as intelligent and royal behaviour. He is gentle and eager to please people when coming to handling and driving. Golsi shows lot of intelligence in many aspects, but whether he’s good in predicting bad weather is hard to tell because all sheep are housed now a days. His ancestors were extremely sensible concerning weather changes so it’s likely that Golsi has those abilities.

Golsi’s badgerface pattern was formerly very common amongst leader sheep in Iceland.  Golsi carries moorit, badgerface and spotted.

Generations back in his bloodline Skumur 01-885 can be found as well as Blesi 98-884 and Formann 80- 961. Those rams were well known AI leader rams.

Color inheritance: Karl Philip carries variation of colors and patterns.

Kjartan 16-860

Kjartan is peaty (mossy), rather angular, large, tall and noble as a leading ram. He is especially observant and keeps a close eye on everything around him. He is exemplary in his dealings and stands still when taken in a corner. Kjartan has deep-rooted clans of leadersheep from many farms in Norður-Þingeyjarsýsla and is therefore a good option for the maintenance of the unique qualities that are the leadership nature and leadersheep of the country. He is rather distantly related to the former leading rams of the stations; in his family tree are Póstur 07-828 (FFF), Geri 03-986 (FMMF) and Biskup 96-822 (MFMF). His sire is Strumpur 14-815.

He is related to Geri 03-986 (FFFF), Móblesi 89-921 (MMF), Bishop 96-822 (MFFF), and Prestur 94-823 (MFMF).

Color inheritance: From Nikulás, all colors are possible, depending on maternal lineage.

Strumpur 14-915

Description: Spotted fine-angled with a good angular shape. The burgundy color is very dark, the tog is fine and soft.

He stands still if you take a corner and knows where he should go if he is in business. Strumpur was chosen as the most beautiful leading ram in Þistilfjörður in the autumn of 2017. Strumpur is distantly related to leading rams that have found their way to the insemination centers; the first such rams in his family tree are Póstur 07-828 (FFF), then Geri 03-986 (FMMF) and Biskup (MFMF).

Color inheritance: From Strunpur all colors are possible, depending on maternal lineage.
