The ram that started it all back in 2014, Willowbrook Sloan. David Steele sold my son this ram and two ewes and we never looked back. Sloan is still the foundation of many of my ewes. He was a handsome ram thats for sure. Miss this wild man. Never a ewe that didn’t get bred with this guy.

I have met so many new sheep producers in 2025 and just giving a quick promotion on nutrition. My advice? Get your hay tested and have a good relationship with your local feed store. They almost all have people that are nutrition experts and can advise you what to feed based on your hay test. (They generally don’t even charge you for a setting up a feed program if you are using their feed) Dorpers do well on very poor quality forage but they still need their salt/minerals and protein in their diet late gestation. You aren’t just feeding lambs, you are also building that first colostrum for those new lambs. If you feed your ewes properly they make Red Bull colostrum, if you don’t feed them well …..they make watered down version of Gatorade. Set up your ewes and lambs for success. And don’t forget to vaccinate your ewes 4-6 weeks before they deliver and all lambs generally will need selenium at birth. And send me lamb pictures because I love them😂

Minus 15 with a windchill of feeling like -27 ❄️🥶Sheep still don’t care. If anyone thinks hair sheep aren’t hardy? Some have hair 2 inches thick right now and on those mild days they were actually sweating. These girls prefer the cold most of the time.

Great video of things to take into consideration when purchasing a ram. Now I don’t feel so bad about Goliath’s enormous ears🤣The ram in most of this video actually looks so much like him.
