Current Sires
 

“Bandit”

Bandit was donated by Silver Sage Club Lambs. He is sired by a Buckmaster son, "Leo", owned by Gino Farinelli and out of a Cabaniss bred ewe. Power is the first word that comes to mind when you look at Bandit. Tremendously thick topped, square hipped and wide based. He will add thickness from end to end in our lambs and we are excited to start using him!
 
“Dodge”

A powerful son of Diesel (McGolden Club Lambs) that was the Champion Crossbred Ram at the 2009 Nugget All American Show and Sale in Reno. Thanks to Byrne Club Lambs for donating this ram to our program!

Dodge’s first lambs will be hitting the ground in Fall 2012!
 
“Mac”

Mac was bred by McLaughlin/Griffin Sheep in Colorado. He was champion Suffolk wether sire in Reno in 2008! Thanks to Byrne Club Lambs for the donation of this stylish, balanced sire to our program!

Mac’s first lambs were very competitive at several early summer fairs in California. Most of his lambs were in the top three and even won classes. He has added correctness of design and balance to our lambs, we can’t wait to see the lambs this fall!
 

Reference Sires
 

“Doug”

A Groovy son that we are leasing from Hawkins Club Lambs in Oregon. An extremely heavy muscled ram, particularly through the loin and hip. Very wide based and one of the thickest rams we have put on our ewes! Thanks to Hawkins Club Lambs for giving us the opportunity to bring these powerful genetics into our program!
   
“Murphy”

"Murphy” is an “All In” son that was purchased from Leventini Club Lambs. He is big topped and putting outstanding rack shape and loins in our lambs while improving hip design!
 
   
“Cool”

“Cool” came to us from Heuvel Club Lambs. He is sired by “Poison” (Johnson Club Lambs, OK) out of a Hero daughter (Ott Club Lambs, OK). Cool was used to improve our female base while continuing to improve design and muscling in our sheep!
 
“Heatseeker”

We purchased “Heatseeker” from Whiterail Ranch in Porterville, CA. “Heatseeker” was bred by Shadow Ridge Ranch and was sired by TLB T375 2 Rock (ennonobled) and out of a Bingo bred daughter. He added a lot of bone and muscle to our project kids, while maintaining structural correctness and design. Thanks to HJ Boer Goats for purchasing "Heatseeker."
 
“Miller”

“Miller” was purchased from Bianchi Club Lambs and improved the size and design of our sheep.
