Our History...

A BIG THANKS goes to Joe Harrell & family, Larry Shell & family, Bruce Achor & family and Keith Berry & family for helping us build this Foundation!   

Demon

Cajun x Rambo

We want to give Larry, Christy, and Cary Shell a sincere, heartfelt thanks for allowing us to use Demon for two breeding seasons. We were able to produce forty top daughters that have all been retained in our flock.

 


Shell Blue

Another great old foundation sire. We purchased half interest from Bruce Achor in 1996. We were able to get two breeding seasons from Blue before he died in 1998. His daughters have consistently worked well on all of our stud rams. As we were lucky enough to collect Blue before his death, we will continue to have a few Shell Blue lambs each year.

Shell Midnight

The one, the only. What more can we say except that he is one of the last great ones! We purchased Midnight from Larry and Christy Shell in 1996. Since then, we have bred him to some of our best Harrell/Rhoads and Shell ewes. We have retained 35 of his best daughters. Look at all the great Midnight sons working in top flocks across the U.S. - 212, bred by Shell and owned by McIlrath of Iowa; 139 &253, bred by Shell and owned by Bruce Achor of Ohio. These are only a few. We will be offering a small group of Midnight daughters for sale in 2001.


Harrell 57 Okie

This famous Twister son was used in the Harrell/Rhoads flock for multiple breeding seasons and sired many stud rams and stud ewes. This is our second lamb crop out of Okie and they look great. The heavy muscle definition and touch set these lambs apart. We used Okie heavily on our Harrell 120's and LBJ daughters. A special thanks to Joe and Kevin for breeding and allowing us to purchase this great son.


Warhorse

Wise Guy(Demon x Harrell 120) x Harrell 2140(Tahoe's Dam-this great ewe's last lamb)
Another top lamb out of Wise Guy that was born in 2005/2006 lambcrop. Very pleased with his lambs this year.

Harrell 3334 Tennessee

This ram was purchased from Harrell/Rhoads in 1998. He is a Twister son out of Harrell 1115 and a great Reno daughter. He has that extreme extension of length and front end. Tennessee lambs are very tubular and thin hided. We used Tennessee on most of our Midnight and Stinger daughters. We weren't disappointed, and you won't be, either!

Harrell Stinger

We purchased this great Harrell/Rhoads ram with Stillwell Club Lambs in 1995. He sired Twister and many top Ewes for Joe and Kevin. His daughters are one of the foundation families in our flock. Stinger lambs have that velvet smooth hide in combination with a super hip and loin edge. We bred Stinger heavy to our Harrell Reno and Outlaw daughters. He also worked really well on our Shell Blue daughters.


Shell Thunder and Black Ice
(Black Ice pictured)

A super set of twin stud rams from Larry and Christy Shell. We were able through the generosity of  Larry to use and later own Black Ice. He is a great combination of Deniro (a Cardinal Creek ram) and one of Larry's super 18 daughters.  Thunder, his twin brother, was purchased from Jay States of Hennessee, OK in 2000. These stud rams have given us that added eye appeal and touch so much sought after in top show lambs. Special thanks goes to Jay States for selling us Thunder.

Shell Twister

A really extreme 18 son out of a Top Hill Co. 2201 daughter.


Harrell Bocephus

Out of Bodacious and Hollywood. Joe and Kevin used this ram as a lamb. We purchased him in the fall of 1999. This super, stylish, thick ram was to be our mainstay on our Tennessee daughters, but unfortunately he was killed in a ram fight. We retained only a few daughters and one son.


Harrell Stretch

This huge Twister son was purchased from Daryl and Brian Skidgell of Pawnee, OK in 2000. They purchased him from Harrell/Rhoads at the 1998 Midwest Stud Ram sale. After doing a super job for Skidgell's, we were fortunate enough to acquire this great stud ram. What a great job he did! Our first Stretch crop is an awesome combination of size, scale, and muscle pattern. Stretch's dam, Harrell 2866, is a full sister to Tahoe, the great Harrell ram that has worked exceptionally well for Schrank Club Lambs of Texas.


OTHER RAMS USED:

• Harrell Harry - A great old Brother Bob son out of 634 Heupal bred by Joe Harrell

• Harrell Blue Boy - A big-muscled, stout ram out of Blue Beard bred by Joe Harrell

• Shell Smokey Joe - A long hind saddled, big-butted JJ son bred by Larry Shell

Watch for upcoming pictures of our latest Harrell ram, Mustang. He is a Pistol Pete and Hollywood son. Also, Tonic, a ram lamb we bred. We are super high on this ram who is out of Okie and a Berry 7-182 Obsession daughter.
