"Propel" (Miller 0-571) RR-NN
When we selected "Propel" as our new stud ram in the Spring of 2002, we were looking for one thing and one thing only-MUSCLE. We believe "Propel" is loaded with add sufficient muscle to our lambs without sacrificing anything else we have been striving for in our lambs. We would like to thank Jim Miller and his family for all their help in selecting this promising new stud ram. Propel sired the 2003 Ohio State Fair Grand Champion Market Lamb.

| "Boost" (Double F 252)
"Boost" is sired by "DNA" and is out of what we think is our best "Powerline"
daughter. It looks like "Boost" has not disappointed us, he is
siring sheep that are jacked up in the front with extremely good rib
shape and more muscle than his father "DNA" did for us.

"Double F 335" Birthdate 2-10-03 RR NN "Boost" x "500"
|
DF 335 was our best RR "Boost" son. His dam, DF980 is the
grandmother of the 2003 Ohio State Fair champion. DF 335
was used on a few brood ewes and some "Propel" daughters.
"Poe 342"
RR NN "Wake" x "Cabaniss 172"
We would like to thank Stanley Poe for allowing us to lease Poe 342 this Fall. "Wake", his sire is a "Ripple" son and his dam, Poe 924 is a twin sister to Poe 925. Poe 925 was a stud ram used by the University of Kentucky in 1999 and 2000. To see more Poe Hamps go to www.poehamps.com.
"Double F 324" "Propel" x " Powerline"
RR NN
324 sired by "Propel". His dam, DF 020 is a "Powerline"daughter. Her 2002 buck lamb was sold to Kirby Payne of Missouri. DF 324 was our most complete RR son. We used him on about 20 brood ewes and some ewe lambs.
| Powerline (Cabaniss 161-91)
We consider "Powerline" to be the foundation sire of our flock.
This "801" son was a ram that we felt was ahead of his time. He
sired extremely well balanced, clean fronted sheep with plenty of frame
and lots of style. His daughters were exceptionally good mothers, so
much so that in the early nineties every ewe in our flock was sired by "Powerline". |
"DNA" was our second ram purchased from Cabaniss at the farm. He was sired by "172" out of a "277" daughter. This ram grew out to be an extremely large framed sheep that added size and length to our flock. "DNA" passed away in the Spring of 2003, however his genes will continue to greatly influence not only our flock, but others as well. Several of his offspring were sold as stud rams.

"73"
was purchased privately and was the first ram to be picked out of the
Cabaniss flock in the spring of '97. He was sired by "Four" out
of a "Time" daughter. This ram was a medium frame ram with
a very level and wide hip and extremely sound on his feet and legs.
He sired smooth, well balanced lambs with elegance to burn with an
abundance of Hamp characteristics. A limited amount his semen is
available for sale.
We were fortunate enough to lease this Miller ram from Brian Forsee
for one breeding season. He was originally intended to be
used as a terminal sire, but instead we kept several of his daughters
in our flock which have been very productive for us.
"500" was purchased at Sedalia in '98 as a yearling. He was
a "Noon" son out of and "801" daughter. Due to his untimely death,
we were only able to use him in our flock one year and have kept some of
his daughters. He sired wethers that were very competitive with a
hard handling touch and desirable hides.
"Top
Secret" was our keeper buck lamb from the Spring of 2000. He was
sired by "73" and out of a Hancock ewe with a heavy influence of
Miller breeding behind her. Everyone that saw "Top Secret" as a
lamb would say that he was one of the prettiest profiling rams they've
seen.
