Lot #7 WVF 9-782

Lot #7  WVF 9-782

This ram was one of our top young sires in 2019.  He offers good balance across multiple traits, but is especially strong in the maternal traits.  He is in the top 2% for number of lambs born (NLB) and top 3% for number of lambs weaned (NLW).  He also has strong parasite resistance, a flat coat, black hooves, polled, and yes…..he’s RR.  His dam is from one of our oldest and most maternal lines out of a Fahrmeier ram.  Sire is our outstanding ram “Seymour” that we have used heavily during the last two breeding seasons in both our conventional and grass-fed ewe flocks.  We shared 782 with Charmingfare Farm so he has genetic connections to 2 NSIP flocks based on 30+ progeny.  We plan to keep the most parasite resistant of his daughters.

Lot # 8 WVF 0-0902

Lot # 8  WVF 0-0902

This outstanding triplet ram combines both structural correctness and a balanced set of EBVs from an extremely hardworking ewe.  902 is exceptionally correct on feet and legs with a flat coat, black hooves, polled, and is well muscled through his hind legs. Overall, he has a great phenotype…..I can’t wait to scan him!  His EBVs are well balanced placing him in the top 20% for Maternal Milk, top 15% Weaning Weight, top 20% Number Born, and importantly top 5% Number Weaned. His USA Hair Index at over 110 is in the top 5% for the breed. His sire is our outstanding ram “Seymour” that we have used heavily during the last two breeding seasons in both our conventional and grass-fed ewe flocks.  We are especially proud to offer 902 in this sale and look forward to watching his numbers climb in years to come.
