Results: Salamon 10-906 was bought as an AI ram in 2013 after very good results at his home farm. A large number of his sons were evaluated last autumn and amongst them large portion had noticeably good rump and gigot muscling. Many of his progenies were in at the top at county shows this autumn. This is in accoradance to former results at his home farm. It is though clear that if his progenies lack weight their muscling is not as good as could be expected.
