Ivan

Danaway Ivan is a two year old faded black ram bred by Rick Cross in Cumbria. A grandson of Mr Grey from white parents, his sire is Danaway Magnus and his dam is Danaway Alva. 

His attractive colouring is based on the black breed colour plus the faded gene, giving a faded black/grey/beige tinted fleece which changes tone according to length. His horns are well placed, and tonally darker than they appear in photographs.

He has a stocky set, with an impressive solid head and well-placed horns. His face is characterised by pale grey 'sugar lips', a feature driven by colour genetics, not age-related. He possesses a squeaky bleat, full of impish charm with a fair and level gaze.

Ivan never has a cross word to say, although he will stand back and charge other rams if he senses anyone is getting out of their box. He is the super-cop of the boy field.
