Sale:

New ram in 2008:
In June 2008 we traveled to K Bar K farms in Pennsylvania to pick up our new yearling ram. Ken and Kathy Soder have been selecting production type Dorsets using Lambplan for many years. #7132 is sired by a Carson ram, has strong breed character, excellent EBVs, and gives us some NSIP linkages to Virginia Techs Dorset flock.
Ram and Ewe lambs available:
We lambed in February and April 2009, and will have a new crop of lambs available, out of K Bar K 7132 and MSU 723, starting in late spring of 2009.
New ram in 2009:
In May 2009 we purchased a mature proven ram out of the Virginia Tech flock from Michigan State University. He will give us direct genetic linkages to three other NSIP flocks. These flocks include Virginia Tech (his flock of origin), Michigan State University, who bought him as a lamb and used him for three years, and also Mint Gold Ranch, who bought a son from him out of MSU in 2008. In the 2009 Dorset sire summary VT G045 was ranked first in weaning weight, first in post-weaning weight, above average for milk + growth and first in percent lamb crop. He is very thick and has great breed character.
