Ewe Base
We have aggressively kept back and invested in ewe lambs with 80% of our flock being 3 years old or less going into the 2024 lambing season. Our ewe base consists of genetics from Diamond Club Lambs (Primo, The Franchise, Son of Public Enemy, and our buck McGregor), Schweer Club Lambs (Pink Tag Buck - Son of Final Answer from Walkup Club Lambs and Blue Tag Buck - out of Dark Horse from Walkup), Bauerle Livestock (Galelio and BMT), Burch Livestock (NFS, Milestone and ComptonXMudcat), Hobbs (Road Rage, Maverick, and Homeland) and Overman (Unicorn, Ghetto and Project).
