The choice of a ram will impact a flock, good or ill, for years to come. We were fortunate to
find exceptional genetics from quality-conscious breeders - we have also been fortunate that
The Boys are living up to their pedigrees. Each ram at HolliBerri has been chosen to produce
the great meat-and-fleece qualities which we so prize in our lambs. Now adding Dairy lines!
We are proud to announce the following rare genetics in the HolliBerri Ram Pen:
Lasi and As
These great herdsires guarantee us many years of outcrossing for both our flock
and the flocks of other Icelandic shepherds.
Having said all that, let me introduce you to:

By all rights, this boy should be listed back with the 2009 prospective flocksires, but he
is so awesome that he deserves his own page right now! A combination of some of the
best genetics to come out of Southram, this boy has beautiful fleece, wide-spread, heavy
horns, thick bones, and the longest back I've ever seen on a young ram. He's like getting
the best of Ilex and Ash, with the Sjodur outcross thrown in for good measure. His first
lambs have been long and muscular, with a good rate of gain and great parasite resistance.
Ra's breeding group for 2011 will include: Goldenrain, Cameo, Cinquefoil, Catbriar,
Coralberry, Chynafir, Silky, Dewberry, Belle, Tupelo, Tamarix, and Flax.
Update: Ra committed suicide by continually fighting with every mature ram in the ram
pen - The Boys finally had enough and dropped the smack down on him. Ra was bred to
some fabulous ewes, and we will be keeping quite a few of the daughters - may have
some for sale as the season goes on. Check often!
