Bambi: Ram #95-829. Horned, dark moorit. Good looking head, well muscled neck and shoulders. Back, loin and thighs score adequate. Straight feet. Good overall conformation and strikingly good temperament. Thick eye muscle (39mm). Wool quantity near average. Tog is a bit coarse, thel is very soft. Bambi is "near to average in all abilities..." "Some of his progenies have come out excellently." This speaks well for him considering the Icelanders emphasize white animals and concentrate their improvement efforts mainly on them. "Bambi is an AI sire mainly for his color, and should improve breeding of the colored sheep." Scored 81.5 out of 100.

Blaevar: Ram # 90-974. White but carries color, horned. His horns have a tight curl. His head is broad and his neck is thick and well muscled. His back is strong, chest broad, deep and muscular. Good leg muscle and straight feet. His lambs tend to be born slightly smaller than
most, and are very vigorous. (Until recently we had a Blaevar granddaughter which was the product of a Thettir/Blaevar cross. Her growth rate was steady, rather than being rapid on the early end.) Blaevar's fleece has quite a bit of tan distributed though it. His wool is very soft, with fine tog. Blaevar carries color.

His sons seem to consistently score among the best for front body muscling and roundness, and fine wool qualities. His daughters are very good mothers. Thettir's decendants have always been the best (or among the best) animals on our farm.
