New Reference sires–Omega and Wedge

Please enjoy the recently updated reference sire section of our webpage. It is our pleasure to step back in time to feature Omega who still lives strong today in our flock through the power of linebreeding. We have also added several other important reference sires to the page.

2011 Louisville wether lambs

We have now posted some photos of the wether lambs exhibited by Alyssa Heitschmidt at Louisville, 2011. These wethers were born the end of February 2011 and are sired by Impact 920 (Money Maker/Armani/Marcantel). The ewe lamb comtemporaries to these wethers are bred to Pay Day (Money Maker/Packin’ Heat/21), Impact 083 (Young Jock/Livewire) and Excel (Exile/True Blood/Classic) for 2012 lambs. We will keep you posted as these lambs are exhibited at winter shows this season.

All 2012 sires now posted.

We now have all of our sires posted on the website that we used for the 2012 lamb crop. We hope you sense the genetic capabilities of each of these rams with both the linebred Fred Knop Family ewe flock as well as our Impact Hampshire ewes.

We believe that the stage is set to explore some exciting genetic avenues in 2012 with these matings. We invite you to plan a stop at our farm this spring. Our private treaty viewing will start towards the end of February when lambing is completed. Our 2nd online club lamb sale will be held on April 17-18th. We are considering a consignment or two to other spring and summer sales in 2012.
