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.

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.
Horn on left as you look at photo has a finger's width of clearance and is turning outward at tip.
GT Boise Brule, Age : 1 year
Solid body structure and very finefleece on this boy. His fleece tested Premium Grade 1 in March, 2023. It is very fine with very fine, uniform crimp like his dam Patecone.
