Golden oaks farm lebanon ct1/20/2024 ![]() ![]() ![]() Leo was the product of a thoughtful breeding program with a long line of quality animals including rams Rusty, Charger and Bo, all from Trailside Exotics. We are now breeding a young ram sired by Krios Hamal that has an even more impressive set of horns, much wider and longer at 18 months, a good reflection of the Wide Trac line.Īll of our foundation ewes came to us from Wisconsin and were sired by the the Trailside Exotics ram Leo. As such, Krios had some really fine genetics running through his veins. Mia was sired by Mousafa, another Hi Lonesome ram, and a Charger ewe from Trailside Exotics in Wisconsin. He was sired by the spectacular ram, Wide Trac, out of an ewe named Mia, both from the Hi Lonesome Ranch. Our original breeding ram, Krios, was named after the flying ram with the Golden Fleece and came to us as a lamb from Texas. For a great description of breed standards please refer to UHHSA. It is after these beautiful creatures, who can fly like birds with “white winter wings” that we named our farm. They are strong, fast and capable of extraordinary leaps under pressure. ![]() A short tail (less than three inches), a white saddle patch and black mane that only appear in winter are also distinguishing features. Mouflon rams will display impressive heart shaped supracervical horns that can reach lengths of more than 30 inches. It has two types of coats, one of hair and an undercoat of wool that grows in the colder months and is completely shed with the arrival of warm weather. Mouflon Sheep are a breed apart, native to the wild places of Europe and arguably one of the most beautiful of the species. ![]()
