One of the ewe lambs sired by the ram below. As powerful as this lamb looks, I thought it was a ram
CFF 56-18 ChurchFIELD STUD RAM
Susan sent us this fine picture of the ram that sired her 2020 lamb crop. His sire is pictured below .I have yet to see him, but Susan assures me I will like him. Looking at his picture, I am inclined to believe her.
He is a son of 2013 Res. National Champion, McHale 0001 (Big Daddy)
More information on this ram to follow.
I am constantly preaching that we need big barreled, wide tracking deep ribbed sheep to maintain our grass friendly performance profile, along with carcass merit.
This ram personifies the right kind in my opinion.
