In 2008, 10 shearling ewes and 2 rams were exported to Holland. I am looking forward to reading about their progeny. - Following their successful breeding the same buyer has purchased another ram in 2012 from Carlisle, Ortum Bolt. In 2007 three rams were sold to Northern Ireland, and progeny results were good, with Ortum 444 [J6] now holding 11th position for stock sires, both Ortum five hundred and Ortum magic both achieving figures on the second page.

Recently produced Rams by the Ortum flock
In both 2005 and 2006 Ortum rams were selected as Supersires by the sire reference group. Both sons of Ortum tops 2004 which I considered a plain but well fleshed animal. He was the 5th highest figured ram of 2004 with good growth rate and the top figured muscle depth of 6.78mm astonishing, (average for year was 3.63).Supersire 2005
Ortum Supersire 2005 8th highest recorded ram of year with the deepest muscle depth of 7.60mm and 12.96kg growth rate however his fat scan let him down being 1.38mm.
