SOLD
DarkHorse Typhon
Typhon is a 2021 PDSS and THSoA registered son of Mercury Rising. He is a 4-horned (fused left) ram with very nice conformation and color. It is challenging to get a multi-horned to gold with fewer than four sets of measurements, but we believe this ram can do it.
He was last scored at 100-2/8" at 18-months of age.
SOLD

Phoenix is a 2022 PDSS registered elf-eared ram out of excellent genetic lines. He was a promising youngster who gave us some very nice elf-eared lambs Spring of 2023.
