The next step in our breeding program is focusing on the two rams listed below.  "Storm Cat" sons with the great "31" prominent in their maternal pedigree.

These rams will be bred to straight Hancock genetics and to some "Benchmark" and older line ewes we have in our flock.  If you want to enhance your flock with quality genetics from some prominent lines we have used check out our Sale Page.

Hancock 9115

Sire: "Storm Cat"

Dam:  "31" ET Daughter

DNA:  RRNN
 

When the time comes to enter the show ring you will be glad for the structural integrity of 9115.  This "Storm Cat" son on an ET daughter of "31" brings a lot of rack and leg to the table as a stud ram.  The thickness he shows over his square hip and through the center and lower portion of his leg is impressive.  Complementing this muscle mass and shape is a clean chest floor and a smooth shoulder leading up to a neck that comes out of the top of his shoulder.

This long-sided "Storm Cat" son is moderate in his frame and should provide for a strong genetic match with our "100 Proof" and "LeBaRRoNN" daughters.

Our deep thanks go out to Mike Hancock and Larry Carter for their friendship, encouragement, and assistance as we seek to build our program.

"Trooper"

Sire: "Storm Cat"

Dam:  Hancock 3025

"Trooper" is the result of purchasing the $4,500 Hancock 3025 ewe at the 2007 Premier Bred Ewe sale.  She was bred to "Storm Cat" when we purchased her.

"Trooper" has the width of top and rump that many are searching for, as well as a good amount of leg to complete the picture.  His clean front combined with excellent lines make him a good profiling - thick sheep.  He may be just a little bigger racked than his awesome sire as well.

Hancock 3025 is also the dam of the "Lottery Pick" ram used by Keith Berry and the "Governor" ram used by Repasky and Petzenhauser.  The "Governor" sired the Reserve Champion Lamb at Ak-Sar-Ben.

The first "Trooper" lamb shown won its lightweight class.  Look for more lambs by this impressive ram to shine in 2010.

We then took the next step and went straight to Mike Hancock for some of the basic and leading genetics he had been using.  We have the dams, granddams, and great-granddams of several high-selling individuals and winning lambs.  On the sire side we used "LeBaRRoNN" a 3/4 brother to the "Rupp Plus" ram Hancock used for 2009 lambs as a lead sire and then bred heavily to the "100 Proof" ram that Mike Hancock has touted highly in his program including on his website.  We lost "100 Proof" this year but his sons and daughters and the semen in storage will continue his positive influence in the years to come.

When Mike saw the "Trooper" pictures above, he said he was a "true stud."  When Mike delivered our newest "Storm Cat" son to us he said 9115 looked so tremendous that he might take us up on the offer to bring the ram back for him to use in his flock.  It is nice to have rams that can garner compliments from someone such as Mike Hancock.

It's our great honor to have Mike and Larry as friends and we thank them for all of their tremendous assistance as we seek to continue our forward progress.  Progress that we are making so that you can depend on the genetics you purchase from us.
