Etienne

Willowbridge Etienne joins us from Boston, Lincs, recommended to us by his breeder for his small size and charming temperament. Here, he's photographed against a big wether, Spot, showing just how tiny he is.

His sire Lough-Ny-Magher Crumble came over from the Isle of Man. Sire and dam both bring a rich mix of lines including Oakton, Rexna, and Cammall, highly differentiated from the majority of the flock.

Now fully grown, we can appreciate his nice shape and diminutive stature. His horn shape is notably different, presenting as one giant sweep of horn, rather than an open curl; this range of horn shape is a feature of the different Ouessant lines, and the sweep is often seen in the Dutch.

Etienne will be in a breeding group with some larger mature French ladies which will make his winter for him! I think he is smiling at the thought.
