COMMENTS: This is the longest bodied ram out of the fall crop. He has great muscular expression, an open head, and lots of size for his age. His sire is out of the sister to "First Class", the 1998 NAILE Champion Ram and "Muffin", the 2001 National Champion Ewe. His dam is one of the bigger Allen ewes. He wouldn't stand for the photo, so don't hold that against him.
