Its breeding time again

We purchased a really good looking ram from Tongue River Icelandics, in Missouri last spring. Sadly the owner, Susan Briggs, was dieing, and needed to sell her much sought after lifestock. First to go were the ewes. Priced at $300 a piece when you bought 3 or more, they went very quickly. We didn't need any more ewes here at Hedgeapple Farm, so I waited, hoping the rams would go next. My patience paid off. When the rams were listed for sale, I looked over what was available, and picked two rams. Thunder is who we got. He is gorgous, lovely carmel coloring, and what a build. He had the best meat confirmation out of her ram lambs that year. His mother was also one of her milkest mothers. He has been one of easiest rams to work around next to Rocky. This should be fun to see what colors the lambs will be come spring. Rocky threw mostly black lambs, only 2 were white out of 24 lambs. Looking forward to April 24th! That's when the first Icelandics are due.
