Bramble Oxide A two year old ram born 07.04.2002
RBST Reg No. P8828
Sire- Bramble Benjamin Reg No. P7865 - Dam- Bramble Flojo reg. No. P4809
Oxide
is a stocky, well built ram with a good mouth, well shaped horns and a
handsome
face. He has fathered lambs so is proven as a stock getter. One
of a pair of impressive twin ram lambs he is a
very square sheep 'with a leg on each corner' as show judges sometimes say.
He is very calm and has been well handled.
He has never been shown but is certainly
the type of animal we would take into the ring. His Dam, Bramble Flojo, is
a multi class and Supreme Championship winner. Oxide is another sheep we will
be sorry to say goodbye to but you can't keep them all!!
His fleece has been analysed by the Wool Board and it was given 102 marks out of 110. Comments were: Excellent fleece, good wool properties with a minimal amount of coloured fibres. He has been tested for Scrapie resistance and was rated at the top grade ARR/ARR.
FOR SALE at £250.00 (No longer available)
Bramble Jose' A shearling ram born 09.03.2004
RBST Reg. No. P9284
Sire - Bramble Otto Reg. No. P8397 - Dam Bramble Felicity Reg No. P7011
Jose'
(Hosay) is a striking shearling ram with a lot of presence. He
still has to finish growing but will be a very impressive chap as he approaches
adulthood. Another potential show sheep, he has a very good mouth, nice
wide horns (essential at his age) and that certain something that marks him
out from other rams. His sire, Bramble Otto, was one of the most striking rams
we ever bred and Jose' is following in his footsteps (hoofprints).
SOLD
Bramble Nevis A shearling ram born April 2004
A good solid shearling with excellent mouth and good horn shape. A very square chap, already quite powerfully built with that 'leg in each corner look' and a certain 'presence' that we look for in a ram. All the potential to be a very good stock ram.
SOLD
