DEAR FRIENDS, BREEDERS, AND SHOWMEN,

We will be offering our Formula for Champions Sale Lambs in five online sales beginning in March 2023. Keep watching for more information this spring.

sale announcement


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Forty-three years and countless champions.  Who would have dreamed that the Formula for Champions Sale would grow into one of the oldest and the largest annual club lamb sales offered by one producer?  We want you to have the best experience possible, so for 2021, to be safe, our sale will be online. Ninety buyers took home their Champions from the 2020 online sales. We would love to see you in the purple in 2021.

It's our desire to raise the best lambs that we can to fit your needs in the market and breeding arenas. We currently have expanded to include Hampshires, Dorsets, Dorset Advantage, Shropshire, Suffolk, Southdown, Natural Color and Crossbred lambs to cover shows that show by breed. During all of these years we have held true to our mission of raising the “complete meat sheep. 

Thank you so much for 43 great years. We appreciate all of your visits, reports of success, and notes. But most of all we value your friendship and your appreciation of heavy-boned, structurally-correct, meaty sheep. We look forward to working with you.
