Sires for 2024 Lambs |

HOLY WATER
Howard 9034
He was our pick of Emily and Brandon's 2019 lamb crop. He is doing what we had hoped. More muscle, more shape with impeccable structure and breed type. He is so prepotent he made the other ram lambs better headed.

Penfold Livestock
Sleeper Cell
RR/NN/EDF/FF ET
Sire: Harbour 189 'Care Bear"
Dam: Hired Hand 7205
We have been watching what they have doing at Penfolds for a few years. Made a call to Jared to see what he had. BOOM!! Sleeper Cell is headed to Sandwich. We found a power sheep that is good enough structured and balanced that he will see several ewes in Sandwich.

A&M
Line Drive
RR/NN/EDF/FF Tw
Sire: Howard "Redline"
Dam: A&M 4-179 by Reckless
This one get us excited. If you want to know what Southdowns should like like going forward, you just need to see this one. Super structure, big boned and wooly. Deeper center leg with flair to the outside. Tremendous balance and style. You can get get muscle and be bigger than those baby dolls.

PCS
Squirrely Dan
RR/NN/EDF/FF Tw
Sire: "Protest This"
Dam: Howard 9092 by Redline
Found this unique piece doing some internet shopping last fall. Lets give them something to talk about. "To be fair", his pedigree alone will do that. He is extended fronted and shaggy legged. His mass and muscle combined with his longer neck have made him popular with visitors to Sandwich. "That is what we appreciates about you."

Frank The Tank
Sired by A&M Ranch 12151, the Res. CH. Ram at the 13 Ohio State Fair.
Frank had a big time show career for the Fowlers, but has been even a more impressive sire. Many of those class winning ewe lambs, wethers and high dollar yearlings ewes they have been cranking out have been sired by Frank the Tank.

Home Brew
This legendary son of See N' Starrz made the trip from Oklahoma and it was worth the trip. He produced countless champions for the Maddox family prior to moving to Sandwich. In his first crop of lambs in Illinois he threw the bone, hip, and mass that he has, yet kept the cool extended front ends that we demand.
