Houston
Sheep, Gotland, Ram Lamb (male) | Grey
Houston's sire and dam are exceptional. Zylvester puts an amazing fleece on his progeny - reportedly the best of the 2020 NZSBA imports.Houston's dam SWF #90 (Phoenix) is arguably my best ewe - long bodied, consistent curls, and beautiful color. However, Houston is not what I would call exceptional, so price reflects that while he is AI-sired and his fiber is pretty amazing, he has more "fuzziness" and cross-fibers that I'd like to see. Also, his conformation is not the best. But the genetics may be there for him to produce lambs that are so much better than himself. If you'd like to take a chance, Houston may be your ram!
