Has sired 75 lambs over the past few years for us. We have kept many of his ewe lambs. We’ve never dewormed him and he is an easy keeper on grass or grass hay. Always gets 100% of the ewes bred that he is turned in with within the first two cycles. Originally purchased as a ram lamb from Hound River Katahdins. He comes from some of the most sought after parasite resistant genetics in the country.
