News Flash!
Our new stud ram “Sugar Daddy” Twin Oaks 717ET in his working clothes. He is standing next to “Park Place”. We are extremely excited about our new stud from Saylor’s Twin Oaks. “Sugar Daddy” is all about style and eye appeal. He has that fancy, proud persona that Twin Oak’s sheep are known. “Sugar Daddy” has a great front, smooth topped, and long sided. He stands great on his feet and has a great Dorset head to boot. His new lambs on the ground are magnificent. They carry his traits very well and show style and bone at birth. We are looking forward to his lambs coming our of “Park Place” daughters. What a pedigree that is going to be.
Introducing Sugarloaf Dorsets new stud buck addition: Park Place. We are extremely excited about him and the family tree he brings to the deep genetic base at Sugarloaf Dorsets. He is the son of Boardwalk, 2006 Sire of the Year. His granddam was the 2004 national champion ewe.
Sugarloaf Dorsets is already known for important Dorset qualities:
- Heavy muscled
- Thick boned
- Wide hipped
- Easy fleshing
- Great mothers
- Aggressive hard working rams
We also have kept the Dorset breed characteristics in our flock which all together contribute to the “Pretty Ones” at Sugarloaf Dorsets.
Park Place doesn’t disappoint when it comes to these important traits. He adds all of them and a little more length to boot. Thanks to Riverwood Farms for the opportunity to purchase a special compliment to Sugarloaf Dorsets.
Park Place has already been put to work. We (and our stud ewes) are extremely excited about the lamb crop this fall and winter. Give us a call to get your orders in and see how this combination can contribute to your flock
“Joel” is still on board, one of our other stud bucks. His traits are already covered in his write up and hasn’t disappointed us. He is every sheppard’s dream when it comes to commercial Dorset sheep that don’t give up size and pounds of lamb to the market. He will be breeding some hard working ewes that could be a key to your flock as well.
Just arrived into the Sugarloaf Flock - NEW and EXCITING "RR" Stud Ram "JOEL" We recently purchased him from the Midwest from Parker Dorsets. We are VERY excited about this rams extraordinary breed type and his structural correctness and soundness throughout. He is super tight hided with one of the prettiest front ends we have ever seen on a sheep. He is bred right and made right and LOOKS LIKE A DORSET IS SUPPOSED TO LOOK! Crossed on our beautiful Sugarloaf females, we're expecting some EXCITING NEW LAMBS in September!
"Joel" is sired by A. Crome's "Survivor" ram and out of a Penn State Ewe that was a top show ewe for Joel Parker.
Sire: Crome Dorsets "Survivor" 2122
Dam: Penn State 3062 - She was the Reserve Grand Champion Ewe at the very tough 2003 Indiana State Fair AND the 1st place Yearling Ewe in the National Futurity Program in 2004!!!
We thank the Parker Family for allowing us to purchase this ram privately off their farm.
He is already at work for 2006 Fall Lambs!! He's bred RIGHT and is a model for the Dorset Breed in his breed type and structural correctness...he fits very nicely into our program here at Sugarloaf and he IS SHARP!!!
We are anticipating a VERY special group of Fall babies starting in September with this new ram and our established Sugarloaf brood ewes! Contact us early to reserve yours as they sell out quickly, and we anticipate these new lambs coming will sell like hot-cakes!!
