Hi
I have purebred St. Croix rams, that is all the purebred rams I have. But I have 3/4 dorper rams that throw a lot of color - spots, reds, black and whites and browns. Even a grey one every once and a while. It is fun!

Hi
I've been searching for a Katahdin ram to use this October. One person contacted me letting me know that he didn't have one, but gave me your email address. I'm looking for one that should throw some color to my flock. He needs to be pure, but doesn't need to be registered. I have a commercial flock.
Thank You

Take care,
