RIGHT ON WHS2234 This fall ram was a popular choice at the Midwest Stud Ram Sale.
He exemplifies the direction of the suffolk breed: Bone, Muscle, Correct, and Style all in one package.
We think he is the ram to provide the forward movement for the industry and compliments our ewe base.
Our 2023 March ram lamb placed 3rd in a very strong yearling Iowa State Fair National Suffolk Show.
He continues to develop and has not yet reached his full potential. We used him lightly as a ram lamb and are impressed with his offspring. His bone, big foot, length of body, structure, and volume are all qualities expressed in these young lambs. We are so pleased with his offspring that he is out working hard in our ewe flock this fall!
Here he is as a ram lamb and just look how he grew out!
ANOTHER DIMENSION The new addition to our stud is a Dombeck Ram. He brings another dimension to our flock. He will be our main sire of our 2023 lambs. True to his name, he adds additional volume without sacrificing size or correctness. He brings back many of the studs used previously on both sides of his extended pedigree. It will be exciting to see how his genetics add ANOTHER DIMENSION. We feel he will continue to enhance our flock without downsizing.
PARADIGM was a large home raised ram. He added size and bone, and beautiful ewes to our flock. He placed 5th in a very competitive class at the Iowa State Fair. He is servicing our POWER ewes and his granddaughters. He is the son of our popular yearling that sold to Benda Suffolks. He is the grandson of POWER.
PROPHET is our old ram out of POWER. He was used up to year 5 in our flock. Most of our flock goes back to this ram or his sire POWER.
If you are looking for mass/easy keeper and personality, look no further. He is 43 inches tall and long (in addition he weighs over 500 pounds).
He is in his working clothes but his quality is apparent. He is an aggressive sire and has produced quality plus.
POWER carries the bloodlines of Milestone, Junior champion at Louisville in 2012 and Grand Champion in 2013. On the dam side he carries Luxford's "Tru Grit". Power measured 44 inches tall by 46 long at maturity. He was estimated in the 500 pound plus range. His offspring were positively received by two different judges at two major shows. His offspring had a great influence on our flock and still is being expressed in our females today. A few of his daughters will be offered for sale.
This ram lamb and yealings are examples of the traits he passes along. He was a popular choice at the Midwest Stud Ram Sale and sold to North Dakota.
My Way placed third at Sedalia. He sired the Reserve Junior Champion Ewe at Iowa State Fair in the Open Show and Champion ewe in the ISF Junior Show. She went on to Louisville to place third in the open class. He also sired the 4th place ram lamb at the Iowa State Fair and went on to win his class in the open show at Louisville. His influence is still a factor in our brood ewes.
The Choice
Placed 3rd in the NAILE Junior Show and won his class in the Open Show.
Outstanding frame, bone, and excelled growth.
The Answer
Placed 5th in the NAILE Jr. Show and placed 3rd in the Suffolk Open Show.
She is correct, stylish, and is developing into the kind of ewe we would consider a stud ewe.
He carried three Louisville champions in his bloodlines. His females are proof that genetics do carry on. Many of our brood ewes carry his bloodlines. These are examples of the females he sires.
A big bold George Brothers Ram
Carried in our brood ewes
A powerful son of the BOZ
Another George Brothers ram that is embedded in our brood ewes. Dew Boy's Image was used successfully and also is embedded in our brood ewes.
In addition to these sires, our brood ewes carry the genetics of RDN; Nichols sheep continue to find a presence in the Suffolk breed. Everyone remembers the style and quality that ALLISON KEITH brought to the breed in the late 70's and early 80's. We used her ram, CLASSIC TOUCH for six years. He is still considered by us as one of the best foundation rams we used. Quite a statement for a ram we used 42 years ago!
