Sire Isa won Reserve Champion Valais Blacknose Ram at the New Zealand Agricultural Show 2023. Isa is the sire of both Iowa Maker’s Mark (dam: Floss) and Iowa Mars (dam: Effie) who won Grand Champion Valais Ram and Reserve Grand Champion Valais Ram, respectively, at the Maryland Sheep & Wool Festival held 3-4 May 2025. Isa’s pedigree contains a number of animals that have been graded maximum points, including Queen, King Kong and Hulk. Both Highland Montana and Highland Bonnie have produced multiple offspring graded maximum points in the UK. Highland Isa himself is full brother to Highland Incredible Hulk, the sire of four of only ten maximum points graded sheep at Blacknose Beauties, 2024, UK, including the Reserve Male Champion, Deepdale Luca. Deepdale Luca went on to sell at auction setting a new male breed record in the UK.

Dam Highland Ida is full sibling to Highland Incredible Hulk who is the sire of 4 of the 10 maximum points graded animals at Blacknose Beauties, UK in 2024, an amazing achievement. Ida’s dam, Highland Ester, is full sister to Highland Breeze. Breeze is two time maximum points (2016, 2017) and the Supreme Champion Valais at the very first Blacknose Beauties Show, UK, in 2016. She retained the title again in 2017. Ida has multiple maximum points animals in her pedigree, including Highland Queen, King Kong and Hulk.
