| Kirk is our new ram. He is a large, long ram with beautiful, crimpy
wool. His wool maintains a nice crimp over the whole fleece. We purchased
him from Margie Meehan of Iowa and he is the son of the 2001 National
Champion Romney Natural Colored Ram from the Bullock farm. |

| We were fortunate to find "Barry," a Lynn Barnes ram born
2-6-97. Lynn Barnes is a Romney breeder from Oregon who has been importing
New Zealand Romneys since the 1960s. Barry did a great job with his first
crop of lambs here this spring, with a total lambing season of 20 days,
including ewe lambs. Barry's previous owner reports his daughters are
good twinners, with some having triplets as well. While I'm not too interested
in triplets unless Mama can raise them, I'm always happy to see more twins.
Barry also has a very nice fleece. Barry was replaced by Kirk in 2004. |

| Caspian was our first Romney ram and made a huge difference in our flock.
We started out with a variety of ewes, but Caspian's daughters have a
nice uniformity to them. They are good lambers, clean faced, and have
a good temperament. Caspian was born 3-24-99. Barry was Caspian's replacement
in 2002. |
