What breeding is Ace and your ram, Buttermilk? It's great to know there are other Z breeders on here
I have three rams, Brimar Archie the one destined to be mutton, St Clements Wells Borthwick who like Archie is by a Gillhall ram and they share Beech Hay Sir Black Star as a grandparent. The other ram is homebred Eltome Chopsticks who now has had a vasectomy but I am keeping one of his sons Eltome Drummer Boy. Chops is by Archie.
Of my girls I have Fosseway, Bunshill, Sharphaw, Harle, Bobet, Eildon Hill, Cynefin, Conwy, Pen Llyn, Oaklacy and Bryniau as well as my own Eltome ones. Due to numbers I intend to sell on some Fosseway, Harle and Sharphaw after weaning as I am keeping their daughters.
I agree about large and docile although one bought in ewe was wild until housed for lambing. Now she is just as good as the rest.
