The apple does not fall far from the tree. Ironstone is everything we hoped for. He looks like he was sculpted his fleece is so uniform. Well built male, soft spongy tight bundles of matchstick fleece. Your hand disappears like a sponge when you get your hands on him.
Champion dam and Champion Sire so we are hoping he follows suit.
