Thanks for visiting our website. Please check out our breeding program, show success, and please inquire with any questions. We always have sheep for sale off of the farm as well as select sales. All Dorset lambs sired by "Memory Maker" RF 5323. He is sired by "Back2Basics" who is sired by "Primo". "Memory Maker" is out of a top "Dow Jones" ewe. He has done a super job on our Dorset ewe flock.
Our Purpose is to breed and show top quality Dorset sheep as apart of a family project to teach work ethic, integrity, and business acumen. Please browse our website to get a glimpse of our program and do not hesitate to email or call with any questions or inquiries. Our Dorset flock was built initially on select top ewes from Penn St., Riverwood, Mithoefer and Spilde; but now consists of 25 home raised powerful females. "Point Taken" HPD 0048 added top shape, bone and excellent hip structure. "The General" HPD 268 added frame size and rib shape while maintaining superb breed type. "Trademark" Kolb 821 added style and extension to our Dorsets. Our Dorset flock has several outstanding ewe families that form the cornerstones of our breeding program. Our 2007 crop was sired by "Hoosier Daddy". Our 2008 fall lambs and 2009 lambs were sired by "Journey" RF 4880-RR. Our 2010 and 2011 lambs will be sired by "Memory Maker" RF 5323 - 1st place Yearling ram at 2010 IL State Fair. And our 2012 spring and fall lambs will be mostly sired by "High Tail" Highfield 665, twin to Highfield 664 sold for $6000 at 2011 Ohio Dorset Sale.
