Update: Hoisin has been sold and will depart for his new home in SE MN in August or Sept., 2023. All of our other 3 sheep are committed as well, so we have no more sheep for sale.
GT Hoisin: Dual-registered breeding ram (FFSSA, NASSA)
Description: GT Hoisin (GT Gamgee x OK Acres Balsam), 3 years old, richly colored horned moorit ram, carries color intensity and white spotting genes, has sired many high quality lambs, including the First Place Ram Lamb/2022 MASS Reserve Champion Ram. Gentle disposition with people and has been shown. FFSSA Grade at age 3 (current 2023 test) is PG2. Email for price, terms and wool stats. We could potentially deliver him at 2023 Mid America Shetland Show (MASS) in September, 2023. Note: Hoisin’s round style horns (instead of D horns) are not common in US and but round horns (cross section) are favored over “D” horns by Scottish and British Judges “across the pond”. Andrew Bain, a Scottish Judge for the Shetland Sheep Society, looked at Hoisin while he was visiting US in August, 2022 and prounced him a high quality Shetland ram. He also passed inspection by a Shetland Sheep Society Inspector at customary age of inspection, 17-18 months. Contact E-mail: glentamarack@gmail.com

Note: Boise Brule is no longer for sale. His right horn is too close to his face–no room for the growth that will happen next spring. It is too bad, he is otherwise a very good ram.
Below, GT Boise Brule, Musket Yearling Ram, for Sale. Would be great for improving fleece uniformity and finenes, genetic diversity, or conformation in your flock. $250--one horn is close but clears and is starting to curl outward-could be bred this fall but possibly not beyond that unless horn is trimmed. Diverse genetics--goes back to Witts End Black Tweed AI ram line in the British Isles.
