    Hello everyone,

    Today is quite a big day for me. Today I reveal the latest development in my Ram breeding programme. Over the past couple of months I have been working on developing this new line.
    I have settled on calling them "Sapphire Rams"
    They will be available in approx 3 months time, as all the current stock will be used for breeding.
    I hope it meets your approval

    Rgds

    Is this strain something that can be found anywhere else or is this the first version of it to be recorded?

    Fantastic work over how many generations did it take to get to the final

    Hi

    I can not say. I do not think it exists anywhere else yet. Will probably catch on as lots of interest arose on FB and social media. Lets see what happens.

    Thank you

    Hi

    I took a longer route and developed 2 independant lines up to F2. And then I bred the F2s to each other.
    It sounds simplified but this specific development "existed" in my planning whilst I was still busy with the Dark knights. So it started with 5 generations of Dark Knights, and 4 Generations of this.

    Regards

    Marco

    boy oh boy .. are rams becoming the guppies, goldfish and koi of the future, where we understand enough of the breeding traits to set one's mind to it and make it happen over a few f-stops .... solidly impressed with the energy that has gone into making this happen here on the south tip of africa, very cool.
