Rambouillet Ram Rambles .....


Securing Wild Rose Farm #402!
On Friday, our big Rambouillet ram left for a new home in South Central PA.  His new "job" will be with a commercial Rambouillet farm flock.   After breeding our ewes this fall, we're glad to see him move on to another farm.  He'll be 3 in July, so he has several good breeding years ahead of him.
The gentleman & his son also left us with a jar of their own homemade maple syrup!  They were able to squeeze in a trip to pick up the ram in the midst of their maple boiling season .....  :)

Check this out ..... not quite teh true French pronunciation, but more of how you pronounce the shep name -vs- the town of Rambouillet. Remember the "Rambouillet Accords"?

Thank you for the pronunciation! Researched the accord as I didn't recall the 1999 attempt to reconcile Yugoslavia and Albania.
