| Sold my Cormo ram today. Was glad he was going to a farm to breed more fine wooled ewes and his fleece will be used for handspinning. Not the prettiest ram, but the best fleeced ram, same grade of very fine wool from neck to britch. Not a friendly ram, but once caught was a perfect gentleman. He takes the heat and humidity well and was a very easy keeper. Time for a new ram to breed his daughters, maybe a colored, curly ram. I have tried Suffolk, Dorset, Polypay, Corriedale, Ramboulliet, Cotswold, Border Leicester, Blue Faced Leicester, and Cormo. My favorite has been the BFL-Cotswold cross, a very pretty sheep, lots of lustre and easy to shear and process, spins like a dream. |
