He is the 2021 Champion Hampshire ram at the National Hampshire sale in Sedalia, Missouri. We are excited to introduce his genetics into our flock and love the size and bone he has as well as how smooth topped he is. He is huge footed! We feel he will work well in our flock and are excited to use him for 2022 lambs. As a fall-born lamb he will see heavy use in our flock this year and was bred to most of our ewes. We can’t wait for lambing season to start!

Introducing “Starting Line”

This ram is our first wether sire purchase from JT Wade. He is out of Rule ewe and Franklin ram that goes back to In Line. He is a combination of some of today’s hottest club lamb breeding. He is a meat wagon! He has already sired a few rams for us and we’re ready to see how they do at the shows. We feel like he will be a great foundation sire for our club lamb program and we’re excited to see how his lambs do. He was the 2018 Utah State Fair Champion Commercial Ram. His lambs have excelled at the local stock shows with one of his wethers winning the light weight class and then placing fourth overall at the Southeastern Utah Junior Livestock Show.

This ram is the result of an accidental mating but one that worked out well in the end. We love the breeding on this ram and the genetics he brings to the table. He has some great older bloodlines like Taylor Made and Power Bilt as well as some of the newer Wheaton genetics. We love his structure too. He is very smooth over his shoulders and has a great hind saddle. We bred him to a limited number of ewes for Spring 2018 lambs and we’re excited to see them hit the ground. Since 2018, he has seen heavy use in our flock and we have kept a lot of daughters out of him. Because of this, he was sold to Lucky 7 Ranch to help build their Hampshire flock.

We purchased this ram in the fall of 2019 from Rod Wade. We weren’t really looking for a new ram but when this one came up for sale, we jumped at the chance to buy him. He has been used in K&K flock as well as the McNeil Hampshires flock and sired the 2017 Supreme Champion Ram at the Utah State Fair. We used him as the clean up ram for 2019 lambs and have been pleased with the limited lambs we got out of him. We used him more heavily for 2020 lambs and they look awesome. He is pictured at 5 years old.

We kept this son of Grand to replace him. He is the perfect combination of McNeil 1000Y and Robbins 09-15. This cross has worked very well for us and we are excited to see the lambs out of this ram. We love his bone, thickness and mass. He also has a great hip structure that he passes onto his lambs. He saw heavy use for Spring 2018 lambs and they did not disappoint. They all were heavily muscled with great bone and breed character. He is pictured at 3 years old.

This ram is the son of 09-15 and one of his best sons. His dam is also out of our oldest female line on the farm. We really like the length this ram has to offer. He is straight off of his dock and also stands on a great amount of bone. He has sired some great lambs for us the past few years and we are excited to see how they grow out and perform. His first daughters have lambed and are great mothers. He has great breed character that he passes onto his lambs. Pictured at 3 years old.

Rickow 8025 RR TW
Date of Birth: 1/6/2018
Sire: Krackow Rikow 4027 ‘Home Made’ TW
Dam: Krackow Rikow 2025 SG

We purchased this ram from Richard Krackow in his 2018 online sale. We felt we needed to get some more size in our sheep and were hoping this ram would help us. He also has great breeding being a grandson of a National Champion Ram. We only had him for one breeding season and used him on a select group of yearling ewes and were very pleased with the results. The lambs grew fast and are very correct and stylish. Photo not available.

Robbins 09-15 has been our lead stud ram for the past few years.  We like his height, bone, extension and breed character.  He sires lambs that grow well and still maintain their muscle as well as height. His daughters make up a large part of our ewe flock and we have retained one of his sons to take his place.

Grand was our pick of Alvin McNeil’s 2012 RR ram lambs.  He is pictured here as a ram lamb in December 2012. He has great muscling and length that will make him an excellent stud ram. He sires large lambs that grow quickly. They are large boned and loaded with muscle. He sired the Supreme Champion Ewe at the 2014 Utah State Fair. His lambs have made a lasting legacy in our flock. We have retained one of his sons to take his place.

We purchased this Caskey ram from Rickow production sale in 2015. We really like his size and breed character.  He also has some great bone. In his first lamb crop for us he has sired some very growth correct lambs. We feel like this ram is a great addition to our flock and will compliment our frame ewes well.

We purchased this ram in the 2014 Gordoneer frame sheep dispersal sale.  We feel like he was the steal of the sale!  We have used him on some of our wether dam ewes and he has produced some great lambs.  We love his muscle shape and smoothness. His lambs are always very woolly. We are excited to see how his lambs do at some upcoming shows. We lost this ram after breeding in 2016 but have retained one of his sons to replace him.
