Horatio is named after Horatio Hornblower, in honour of his gorgeous horns. He’s not a pet, and he’s now 11 years old, but when he was younger, he decided that I was onto a good thing as flock leader, and he began tracking me. He’s generally near the front of the flock, often the first through a gate when I’m leading, though he won’t let me touch him. This year, 2024, Horatio’s fleece weighs 2.7 kg/5.9 pd. TEST RESULTS: 17.4 micron; 59 mm/2.3” length; 46 N/ktex strength.
