Sires

Southdown

He's smokin' a cool Southdown ram we purchased after seeing him at the SD State Fair. He was Reserve Champion Southdown Ram there. He is a neat package plenty of length and width, and very square. We used him on our recently purchased Southdown ewes this fall 2008, and hope to have some very impressive lambs from him for 2009

Reference Sires

SOLD

We purchased this ram at the 2007 Mid West Stud Ram Sale from Slack Club Lambs Manchester, IN. He is out of a Garrett ram which is a Caesar son, he is a stout made big hipped ram that should put some power in his lambs. We are excited to see his 2008 lamb crop. 

No picture available.

Deceased

This ram was purchased late last fall 2006 from Jake Petzenhauser. He has all the right breeding, a grandson of the Governor ram and out of a Hancock bred ewe. We used him late last year and were pleased with his lambs, so we will be using him for some January lambs this year.

Our pick of Mark Overman's lambs in April. He is line bred Trendsetter and Elliot genetics. We are using him on Boost daughters and a select group of ewes. Ring-Leader really has the LOOK, we can hardly wait for his lambs to hit the ground in 2006. Prototype x Trendsetter

Sold
Thanks to Hays Club Lambs of  Pompeys Pillar,
MT. for purchasing this ram

QRNN

Purchased at the A-Team Sale, "Ultimate" is from Hancock Hampshires out of Ultra x Hancock 8058( a full sister to Derby). This ram should click great with our ewes giving us the Ultimate show lambs next season. Owned jointly with John & Sally Fastert

Do to the fact that we are cutting back on the amount of ewes we will be lambing out this year we are letting go of this proven ram. We had all ready purchased more rams before deciding to cut back .With less ewes around we are over powered with rams, your gain is our loss.

SOLD

RR

"Boost" we bought this ram last summer from Double F Club Lambs of Winchester, KY. He was sired by "DNA" who's full sister was the damn to Cabaniss' high selling wether sire at the Midwest Stud Ram Sale and out of one of Double F's best "Powerline" daughters. We are using him on half of our ewes for our 2006 lamb crop. This ram has sired Grand & Reserve State Fair Champions for us in 2005. He has added an extra Boost to our club lamb flock!!!

After retaining two years worth of daughters from "Boost" we are offering him for sale. Boost has done a tremendous job making great ewes as well as some champion wethers.

Flock History

Something different has arrived at our farm!! My daughter Hanna and I have started a small Southdown flock  for her 4-H project in 2009. We currently have ewes and ewe lambs with genetics from Northern Star Livestock, Bullington, Fuller and Parmely. All of the southdowns have been tested and are RR or QR and NN.  We are excited about the bred ewe purchased on the Industry's Elite Bred Ewe sale from NSLS she is bred to their ram "New Generation" can't wait till she lambs. We should have some nice wethers for sale out of these ewes, watch for pictures on our web page.

We recently had the opportunity to purchase several ewes from Jake Petzenhauser early this December {2007} that should add a new level to our flock. These ewes are some of his best that he did not have room for in his recent move. We are excited to see the lambs from this purchase, Thank you Jake.

We have decided to cut back  the amount of ewes we will be lambing out in 2008 due to space and time limits. Because of this we are no longer leasing the VanWell ewes. We will be culling our own ewes and keeping only our best producers and lambing out a select set of ewe lambs. Please feel free to contact us {605-527-5263} or stop by to view our lambs anytime. We look forward to helping you with your club lamb purchases
