Our Suffolk program is built from home raised ewes sired by big, powerful, complete rams. "Abe" Sponaugle 347, sired by GB "Grottoes", helped put us on the Suffolk map. "Pistol" Meyer 322, sired by "Sea Biscuit" Peifer 1152, added frame size and top shape. Our elite flock consists of outstanding females that are high volumed, long bodied, straight topped with good muscling and productivity. Our 2008 lambs were sired by two outstanding Peifer rams. Our 2010 lambs will be sired by QMF 401'08-RR "Propel." 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 has been built on select top ewes from Penn St., Riverwood, and Spilde. "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 young ewes are sired by the very successful, "Hoosier Daddy". We have sheep for sale at the farm and consign to the Ohio Dorset, Illini Spring, and November Bred Ewe sales. Our 2008 fall lambs and 2009 lambs were sired by "Journey" RF 4880-RR.
