Our Rams: present and past
Mr. Big is our fabulous black gray AI-Grimur ram. A gentle giant, his build is meaty, his horns are wide and wonderful and he has given us the special bonus of carrying the missing Gray Mouflon single gene (GMsg) pattern.
Christopher Columbus was solid black. He had huge, wide horns and an abundant, very curly, silvering fleece. He came to us from Susan Mongold’s Tongue River Farm when it was still in Montana. Our top herd sire for years, his lambs have been exceptional. Christopher was the sire of our 2005 Michigan Fiber Festival Champion Icelandic Ram, Harley. He carried moorit and spotting. His background includes AI sires Bruni, Stubbur, and Horvi.
General Washington: (Kari, Sponn, Ari, Bambi): Washington’s white pattern is hiding a solid moorit spotted ram who has beautiful fleece. His offspring, therefore, will be or carry moorit, solid, and spotting.
Andrew: (Flotti, Hunn): Andrew was a black gray ram with perfect horns and a long, wide body. Unfortunately, he had to be euthanized because of an eye injury. He was the picture of the ultimate Icelandic ram.

Xeno: Black Gray Mouflon single gene son of Mr. Big and Taxus. Xeno is big, wide, long bodied and is homozygous for the long missing single gene gray mouflon pattern. We are using him to start a line breeding program with the goal of making this pattern available throughout the breed. Below is a picture of Xeno's three sons, all born to solid pattern daughters of Mr. Big, who carries the pattern but doesn't show it.
Growlur: our new white AI Kveikur son. This handsome ram has wonderful, lustrous fleece and excellent conformation. He carries moorit. He may also carry gray. We look forward to seeing his lambs; they should be beautiful.
