2008 Sires
 
"Digital" at 13 months (RR-NN)
We appreciate Craig and Lori Scott of CLS Club Lambs selling us this tremendous ram. We found him at a few weeks old and knew he had to be
our next step. "Digital" was born April 1, 2004 and is a double-bred
"Ceasar" ram (half-brother x half-sister mating). His sire, "Digits", is
sired by "Ceasar" and out of a "Trademark" daughter. The fact that this
ram lines up the "Ceasar" breeding coupled with the shot of "Trademark" on his
sire's side makes him an ideal genetic combination to use on our "Benchmark"
daughters. (Benchmark is a Trademark son from Clay Elliott that we used
previously and retained several females out of. They are tremendous brood
ewes.)
Getting a young ram to be
fertile early enough in the breeding season can be a problem, but not for
"Digital". He was an April 1st lamb, and we started getting lambs out of
him in the middle of January. "Digital has exceeded our expectations and
worked extremely well on all of our ewe base, Hamps as well as Suffolks.
His lambs are structurally correct, well balanced, and loaded with muscle.
Customers have described them as "having a cat-like walk full of style and
muscle".
"Casanova" (G49)
Sired by "Digital" and dammed by a Cabaniss 86 daughter. We used this Hamp
ram last year as a ram lamb and he gave us a really cool set of lambs. He
sires them with that extra cool look, upfronted with loads of rack and super in
the hip loin junction.
 
"G386"
Sired by "Digital" and out of a "HyVoltage" daughter. We look for big
things from this Suffolk yearling ram. Used lightly as a young ram lamb,
his lambs sold out in a flash. We're excited to breed more ewes to him.
He'll throw them with plenty of muscle, body length and super correct pattern.
   
"Juice" (W381)
Sired by "Shocker" and out of a "Digital" daughter. Talk about cool
wethers!!! Juice worked on every piece of genetics we bred him to.
He combines our white tag line (Shocker, HyVoltage) and the "Digital" line in an
amazing package. He is super correct with great rib shape and muscle
pattern, great hipped while maintaining that naturally hard touch. We are
keeping three white ram lambs out of "Juice" and "Digital" daughters to use this
fall. One of them is out of a full sister to "Casanova". We'll have
pictures of them later. They are truly the right kind. "Juice" will
see lots of "Digital" daughters this fall.
 
"G403"
Sired by "Digital" and out of a "Casino" daughter. He's a power sheep.
Tremendously big hipped, deep butted, wide topped and yet athletic in appearance
on the move.
Reference Sires
"Hy Voltage"
Reference Sire
QR-NN
Little Mo x Primetime daughter
Sire of many of our 2004 & 2005 lambs
Unfortunately we lost this tremendous stud buck this fall but contact Rick
Roberts in KS for early lambs out of HyVoltage. Rick has purchased several
brood ewes from us the last few years and will have a really good set of lambs
out of both Hy Voltage and Y-518 (Hondo x Smokey) for your inspection in 2006.
 
"Shocker"
Sired by Hy Voltage
Used heavily in place of Hy Voltage. We think he offers even more
dimension and continues that rock hard touch that his sire is known for.
One-half interest in "Shocker" sold to CLS Club Lambs of Ransom, KS after they
came down and saw the job he is doing on Digital daughters. Watch for the
pictures of the ram lamb we kept and will be using out of Shocker and a great
Digital daughter.
Benchmark
(Trademark x Broker) - Reference Sire
The ram so many have inquired about! Benchmark is a Hampshire ram from
Clay Elliott and Jared Allred of Texas and Utah. He is tightly
linebred, being out of their "Trademark" ram and a top
"Broker" daughter, both of which are out of Hancock's
"31" ram and top "411" daughters themselves.
He was their keeper ram from the 2001 lamb crop. Benchmark's
nickname is "Wedgy", because of his design! Tremendously wide
hipped and chisel fronted with that extra "cool" look about him. He is an
absolutely fascinating ram. "Benchmark" daughters have made tremendous
producing ewes.
