A good stud ram can positively influence a flock for generations with excellent phenotypical and economically important traits. Not every ram is a Stud Ram. Sometimes you don't know how good they were until long after they're gone. Youngsters don't qualify, no matter how good they look.

Lost River Livestock 02-229 "Gun Fighter" His sons are breeding the same pattern: thick, level, complete. He was easy to have around. Gentle, not an ounce of mean and an efficient breeder. His daughters came into production in '09. They are wonderful young mothers, easy lambers that milk well. Will not be selling them any time soon.
Andrus 200 N5    "Shorty" A really fine ram who sired mass, bone and productive daughters. Good temperament, easy to handle but too big for the shearers.
Luxford 354    "Mr. Cranky" The one I want back. His lambs would still be competetive. I've kindof forgotten how many fences he tore up. We used 3 sons to linebreed that extended hip and top into our flock.
Martiny 9020 A beautiful headed, thick, straight 354 son. His ewe line is predominant in the flock. His daughters were extremely long lived and productive.
Martiny 9058    "No" Another Luxford 354 son out of a Shorty daughter. I sold him as a lamb to a commercial breeder and bought him back as a 4 year old. He was our go-to ram thru the 90's for meat and structure. He lived 'til 9 years old. Pictured here at 6 yrs old.
