We are all finished lambing for the year! The ram we got from you did a really good job.  Will share some pictures of the new lambs.We are all finished lambing for the year! The ram we got from you did a really good job.  Will share some pictures of the new lambs.

 Just thought I would drop a line and let you know we just finished sonogramming the ewes we had on our ram lamb "Doubleshot" we bought from you in September. They are all bred with at least twins. We are very pleased. He is growing well too.

Thank you for helping us get our start. Hope your lambing season is going well! Curious how the Texas buck did for you?

I was just emailing to give you an update on Hemi, we purchased from you last spring. He is throwing a high percentage of ewes as I have 9 rams out of 42 lambs on the ground. Almost all lambs were twins and never had any trouble. Still have a few more to go. So far the lambs are growing amazingly fast and are really impressive. Thank you again for such a great ram. I attached a pic of him last fall and his first lambs.

I just wanted to let you know that your Hampshire ram has provided us with a successful lambing season. Our first lamb arrived Feb. 4 and we still have 12 ewes to lamb yet. This past Sat. night we had 3 sets of twins and l set of triplets arrive within a couple of hrs. of each other. The lambs this yr. have been a joy to watch play together. We are so pleased with the added length your ram provided and broader chests to all the lambs. Again, many thanks for a wonderful ram.

I wanted to let you know that all the lambs have been born. We had three females bred. I first had 3 weeks ago and they are really growing. I just can't believe it. I think by the looks of them my kids might have some very nice lambs to show this year. The first lambs that were born are super long bodied with nice loins. I think they will be heavy weights for the fair the end of July. 

They (ewe lambs out of a Wise Hampshire ram) took Grand Champion Hampshire Ewe and Reserve Champion Hampshire ewe and 1st place in the pair of ewe lambs.
 
To update you on the Wise orange tag ewe (Sired by Kendall) we purchased -- she placed first in class and reserve at TN 4-H District show. She placed second in class at TN 4-H state show. She placed first in class and won Grand Champ ion ewe at Wilson Cty. Show (which by the way is about as big as our state fair 300k plus) She then placed first in class at TN state fair & won Senior Ewe and Grand Champ ewe.

Just a note to let you know how we are doing with the new lamb crop from your Hampshire ram 68W. We were pleased with our lambs from your ram! We felt the quality of our lambs increased, and that's what we're shooting for! Our final totals were 45 lambs from 24 ewes, so we felt pretty good about that.

Lakota (RAM LAMB) is doing awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We measured him the other day. This amazed me. He is 43 inches long to his rump. He is nearly 38 inches tall and he has grown enormous amounts lately. We are so happy and proud of him. He is everything our flock needed and a little more. 

Carol, I was filling out registration papers and thought I'd let you know what a great lambing season we had. We started Jan. 22 and finished Feb 22. We had 5 sets of triplets. 9 sets of twins. 2 singles. 18 ewes and 17 rams. I hope we have the same good luck next winter. Thanks again for all your help.

My dad and I purchased Mikey from you. This year we had a third overall at Shelby County fair, from a first year shower, and my nephew just won reserve champion at Auglaize County Fair, and two other lambs were 2nd in there classes, these were all sire by Mikey. There were 50 to 60 lambs at both shows. I will try to send some pics as soon as I can. We are pleased with is performance. Good Luck to you at the shows!

I thought I'd let you know how Paco (RAM LAMB) did in his first year as "daddy". We are through with lambing and have a 200% lamb crop from Paco. Actually it was better than that. We had two sets of triplets. Paco's (RAM LAMB) babies are "beautiful"! They have a "presence" about them that I've not seen in our sheep before. It's like they "know" how good they look and they're strutting their stuff! Each baby weighed in at 16 to 19 lbs!!! (except for the last triplet which was the smallest at 13 lbs.)

Thanks for your reply. You have a nice web site. We have two girls (ages 10 & 8). This is their first year showing. We have learned a lot, mostly that we do not know much. The girls started with one ewe lamb each. We will use a neighbors ram and breed them next month. We think, with the arrival of baby lambs, that they will get "stuck" on this outstanding 4-H program.
