Boston

Boston is a 2 year old by Cairnhill Maximilien out of the brown ewe Halsham Persephone, with the pedigree name Heritage Orio. Initially he stood at John Bark's Willowbridge flock in Boston alongside his brother. Memorably, at point of sale he slipped out of his pen and hid in a field with a flock of black Hebrideans. The photo below shows him being discovered.

As his fleece is brown caramel with honey blonde highlights, he carries a pair of recessive brown genes, unusual in the breed. His role in the flock is to perpetuate these rare genes which occur in less than 5% of Ouessant livestock.

Sturdy but with a neat frame, he carries a solid square shape, and robust legs well-earthed to the ground. The thinker of the ram flock, he's shy, with elegant manners. Undoubtedly he would say 'please' and 'thank you' if he could. This autumn he looks like a brown bear with those bulky hind quarters, and has grown an autumn beard that Billy Goat Gruff would be proud of.
