I have had sheep for many years, but in 1999 I bought my first two Suffolk ewes and what an
adventure it has been since that time. My flock has grown to 45 broody, easy keeping,
functional Suffolk ewes. My goal is to breed Suffolks that offer a complete package:
structural soundness, natural fleshing ability, muscling, longevity and superior maternal
traits. I continually strive to produce stock that is appealing to the eye on the hoof as well as
on the rail through production records, ultrasound data and carcass data. My flock consists
of both wether type and middle of the road style sheep. My sheep may not appeal to
everyone but I have a firm belief that Suffolks should be functional, productive and look their
best in the buff. I focus heavily on loineye and leg, the prime cuts, and then work on
keeping the rest of the body balanced. Since I am limited to how many ewes I can keep I
cull deep yearly. If a ewe doesn't fit the bill and make money, she goes. My flock
continually weans a 175% lamb crop, which includes my yearling ewes, this has been a high
standard since I started. My club lambs and breeding sheep have done well at local fairs. I
keep growth records on all lambs and strive to raise stock that have good growth rates
genetically. I have a strict health maintenance program and all ewes have been DNA tested
at Codon 171 with 40% of my flock being RR. My flock is certified B-Ovis free through the
State of Montana and enrolled in the voluntary scrapie program since December 2006.
Even though I work hard on producing high quality Suffolk sheep the reality is not all critters
are perfect, therefore, I like to be the first to know if one is not pleased with their purchase.
A breeder cannot produce top quality stock without buyer feedback. I appreciate and thank
all those who have bought from me in the past and look forward to what the future brings.

In addition to my love of Suffolk sheep I also have a passion for horses. I have been around
horses since I was born. My first barrel racing experience was at age four, and since then I
have had much success. I have youth, high school, college, amateur and professionally
barrel raced. Having a family now and sheep, the road life is not as appealing but summer
time wouldn't be the same if I didn't have colts to break and horses to train. My main focus
now is training quality barrel horses and marketing them. The majority of our up and
coming prospects were sired by our past owned stallion "Streakin Deano" who's sire was Six
Fols and his dam an own daughter of Doc O Dynamite. I sell started barrel horses as well
as finished. Like my sheep customers, I like happy horse customers as well. I sell horses
according to their ability and don't portray them for more than what they are. If you ask a
question I'll tell you the facts and not just what you want to hear.

look forward to talking sheep or horses so feel free to call or e-mail.
