| Our Flock |
|
In 1991 we purchased registered ewes from Northfork Polypays. Ewe 621/W178 is the foundation of our flock with 22 lambs born, 20 raised in 8 lambings. To help meet our goals of pounds of lamb weaned, longevity, and out-of-season lambing we purchased a ram from Diamond S. W1978 is a fall born ram whose dam had and raised 19 lambs in 9 lambings including two fall lambings. We purchased GY213 - HULK at the National Polypay Show and Sale in Springfield, Illinois in 2003 to compliment and strengthen our foundation. He turned out to be a prize! He was born and raised a fall twin. His dam had 19 lambs and raised 19 lambs in 7 lambings including two in fall. HULK sired GV408 the 2005 Grand Champion NSIP Ewe and GVW452 a young sire who is a trait leader in ALL five traits. |
Polypay is a four way cross developed to produce two lamb crops and one wool crop per year with a more prolific, better milking and mothering breed of range and farm combination sheep. read more...
