4th Annual

Sheep Production Sale

Welcome Dear Potential Buyers,

For the past two years we have been working diligently in building an exceptional Texel flock by acquiring genetics from around the country. Last year we purchased the champion Texel ram at Sedalia and he has generated some really great lambs this year. Unfortunately he died this summer but we have some of his sons listed for sale.

We have been raising our Texel lambs on grass to permit collection of fecal egg count data at weaning and 60d later. However, January and February-born lambs don’t typically have a measurable fecal egg count in April in West Virginia—so some lambs do not have weaning fecal egg count data.

Our Suffolk sheep have experienced a tremendous amount of improvement over the past few years and I feel that this is the best set of rams we have produced. These rams have been pushed on feed to be able to work for you this fall.

Please look through this catalog and contact me if you have any questions!
