Suffolk Rams Sires Bucks


	No, we aren't crazy about his blood test... but YES, HE'S THAT GOOD! He is the biggest hipped, biggest butted ram we have ever owned. Maximus is a really stout, big boned buck that has both his sire's muscle mass and hip shape. The minute we saw this ram, we knew we had to own him. (Good thing it was our anniversary... how could Corey say no!) Maximus is a son of Spot, the Johnson ram that has done so well for Brad and Jeff Ellerbrock. Spot is the sire of the 2005 Illinois Grand & Reserve Grand Champion, 2004 Indiana and Illinois State Fair Grand Champions as well as the Grand Champion Market Lamb at Eastern Nationals and the Reserve Champion Land of Lincoln 2004 Illinois State Fair. Spot's sire, Grand Slam, has more champions than can be counted including the Grand Champion Lamb at the 2002 NAILE in Louisville, KY. And his dam is out of Elmo. Elmo sired numerous champions throughout the country including Grand Champion Lambs at the 1999 & 2000 Indiana State Fair, Grand Champion at the 2000 Illinois State Fair, and Reserve Grand Champion at the 2002 Wisconsin State Fair. If his pedigree isn't enough to give you goosebumps... seeing him surely will! Suffolk Crossbred. DNA Tested QR/NS. Retained Half Interest.
	Draft Pick is a total package ram lamb combining length, style, and muscle. He is the biggest racked, longest sided, highest percent hindsaddle lamb we have had born to date. We look forward to him giving us those "pop a top" kind of lambs! We crossed him on females that have traditionally worked well with his sire, Stunner, and those ewes needing a little extra stretch. The lambs are still young, but very impressive! Below is a cross-section of lambs sired by Draft Pick. Suffolk. DNA Tested RR/NN.
	This was an exceptionally complete sheep. Stunner was extremely long bodied and big topped. In addition, he had the much desired rib shape and pin bone set that we have been looking for. Stunner was to be Hindman's keeper ram lamb a couple years back. It wasn't until Mike was able to purchase the lead ram in the 2002 McIlrath Production Sale that he decided to sell him. Stunner is sired by Ozzy, a Jigsaw son owned by Hindman Show Lambs in Albia, Iowa. His dam is a Tuff daughter. Tuff is a Train son currently co-owned by Mike Hindman and Vince McGolden. We have kept back several daughters. And three of the four 2005 "Rat Pack" ram lambs are sired by Stunner. Suffolk. DNA Tested RR/NN. Click Here for Additional Photos
	Unfortunately, Phat Cat died after the 2002 breeding season due to an injury. Our focus the following spring was to put back as many daughters into the flock as possible. They are just now coming into their own, but are giving us a consistent group of outstanding offspring. Phat Cat was the thickest, biggest butted, deepest twisted ram we found in 2002. And yet, he was long bodied, smooth fronted, and balanced from end to end. Sired by Millionaire, the $10,500 ram from the 2001 McIlrath Production Sale, owned by Jason and Sara Wattonville, he was also a 1/2 sib to the Supreme Champion Ram at the 2002 Mid West Stud Ram Sale in Sedalia Missouri. He was bred by Power Cat Club Lambs of Manhattan, Kansas and was out of one of their best show ewes from 2001. She goes back to Trump on both the top and bottom of her pedigree. Trump is the sire of Blue Print. Registered Suffolk. DNA Tested RR/NN. Click Here for Additional Photos
	Loco is a very smooth sheep, sired by Jazz (Excel x Hero), and out of a Sickels bred Dale 423 daughter (the high selling $13,250 ram at the 1999 Corporation I Sale). His dam was the Supreme Champion Commercial Ewe at the 2001 Virginia State Fair and is pictured on our photos page. He brings together the best attributes from two of our favorite bloodlines. Just like his sire, Jazz, he is exceptionally long bodied, long hindsaddled, and has an expressive handling rack. The Dale 423 daughters have always given us lambs that are grooved topped and structurally correct on their feet and legs. In addition this ram continues to be one of the hardest handling, thinnest hided buck we have ever owned! Because we only own half interest in this buck, we have only bred a handful of sheep to him. So far we have been very happy with his lambs. Crossbred. DNA Tested QR/NN.
	We were very pleased with the offspring of this stylish ram bred by the Ott Family in Fairview, Oklahoma. Jazz was beautiful in his profile, measured high in percent hindsaddle, and was very level hipped. Jazz was a long bodied, tight fronted, extreme ram that had the "look" to make winners. He was the Ott's top ram lamb prospect out of their 2000 bred ewe lambs. Jazz is an Excel son out of a Hero daughter. Hero is one of the country's premier sires, producing champions at such shows as American Royal, Louisville, Tulsa, Oklahoma, Kansas, and MidWest. Jazz is also a linebred grandson of Train, the great McGolden/Ott sire bred by Harrell and Rhoads of Indiahoma, Oklahoma. We bred Jazz fairly heavy in 2002. And boy did we like what we saw! He sired some of the most explosive racks we have ever seen here at Cornerstone Club Lambs. They were all long bodied, handle exceptionally well, and had style to spare! He was the sire of both the Top Selling Wether and our Top Selling Ewe Lamb in the 2003 Eastern Elite Club Lamb Sale. By design, Jazz was used primarily as a terminal sire and we have very few daugthers of him in the flock. But those few are awesome! His legacy will continue on through his son, Locco. Crossbred.

	In 2000, we had the opportunity to purchase the lead yearling ram of Matt Nichols in Abilene, Kansas. He is sired by Trump, and is double bred Shell 212 / Hickman 50. He was a tremendously long hindsaddled, tight fronted, excellent topped ram that had bone, style, and plenty of muscle. We have several mature ewes sired by Blue Print that are simply tremendous with a beautiful pattern and design. Every one of them has extra frame size, length of body, and a big, wide, impressive top that is uniform in width from rack to pins. It's as if you laid a 2x6 down their top! And they are all fast becoming our favorite ewes. Registered Suffolk. DNA Tested RR/NN. Blue Print Progeny Include:


	Mac Daddy was the Supreme Champion Wether Sire at the 1999 Eastern Stud Ram Sale and was bred by Duane Sickels of Winchester, Indiana. Mac Daddy is sired by McGolden 399, who is sired by Conspiracy Theory and out of one of Vince McGolden's top ewes, Shania. He possessed exceptional size, style, and muscle. He stamped all of his lambs with grooves down their top and tons of expression in that lower rear leg. He was a wether making machine, and unfortunately we only have a few daughters in the flock. They have all produced outstanding offspring and cross exceptionally well with Blue Print. Crossbred. DNA Tested QR/NN.
	We purchased this ram sight-unseen in 1998 from Don Swanton of Goose Lake, Iowa. The moment we saw him, we knew we had gotten more than our money's worth. Virginia Ice was a thin hided, attractive, ultra thick ram. His lambs consistently exhibited hard handling, deep tops with well defined expression of muscle down through the leg. Among other champions, Virginia Ice sired the 1999 Frederick County Grand Champion Market Lamb. This same lamb also won Grand Champion Carcass with an impressive loin eye measurement of 4.0. Half of our ewe flock now goes back to Virginia Ice through daughters or granddaughters. Registered Suffolk. DNA Results Not Available.
