Oxford rams exported to Estonia

Two Oxford Down shearling rams were exported to Estonia in August for use in an Oxford Down flock there.  James Brown from Tenby, Pembrokeshire sent the ram Monkstone Boris (19034) a son of Barley Park Ulysses (18739) out of a home-bred dam by Delmur Scotty (18337) while Martin Johnson from Wollaston, Northamptonshire sent the ram Longfriday Shakespeare (19040) sired by the imported Schwarzkopf ram Bremen (18890) out of a home-bred Barley Park Gisbourne (18365) daughter.
