~David and Goliath~
"Freight Train", one of our ranch raised studs, visiting with "Gabby", our range poodle puppy. This buck not only has the hip, mass and thickness of his sire, "Great Divide", he also inherited his easy going disposition.

Some of the Prairie Rose brood ewes and yearling ewes (slick shorn 3rd week in June)coming in off of the lower pasture in the afternoon for shade and water in July. We strive for ewes that are consistently uniform and correct in phenotype and conformation as well as for ewes that exhibit excellent maternal abilities.

Sired by "Strictly Business", Luxford 1234A, this Prairie Rose ram stood 4th in Class 1 at the Nugget in 2006 and sold to a Washington breeder.

"Burlington Northern"
This massive stud created quite a stir amongst the range ram producers of the west at the 2006 Nugget All American.
He sold for $8,500 after spirited bidding. He also sired our "Ticket to Ride" stud ram that sold in '07 for $2,000.

"D'Artagnon"
Twin to "Burlington Northern", this stud sold privately to J&A Phillips Ranch as a yearling in 2006. He did a bang up job for them!! We used this ram along with Burlington Northern, when they were lambs and got some outstanding lambs from each stud. "D'Artagnon" sired "Mule Train", our stud that sold at the National Suffolk Sale for $3,500, as well as our yearling ewes at the sale that were popular amongst the buyers. He also sired our popular ram lamb that sold at the Newell Ram Sale in '06 for $1,050.
D'Artagnon and Burlington Northern are sired by "Great Divide".

This young RR/NN stud prospect is currently in the keeper pen. He is naturally thick, wide-hipped, structurally correct and he is as level docked as he looks in the picture. He is sired by "Saddle Tramp", Luxford 1256A, a stud that sired some great lambs for us with some real product and pizzazz. Look for him in 2008 at the shows and sales.
Photos coming soon of this prospect as he turns into a yearling along with photos of his penmates.

"TomBoy" as a triplet ewe lamb. Some of you remember "TomBoy" our 2005 model out of "Great Divide" and "Dottie", Prairie Rose 509. "TomBoy" has grown into a fine ewe; the type of ewe we strive to breed. Pictured to the right, is one of "TomBoy's" full sisters just two years younger. Quality and consistency is what we have come to expect from progeny out of "Great Divide". Stay tuned for photos of TomBoy's own ram lamb, a young ram worthy of staying in the keeper pen and looking at a potential trip to Reno in 2008.

"Deja Vu". This young triplet ewe lamb is "TomBoy's" full sister but 2 years younger ("Great Divide x Prairie Rose 509, "Dottie"). We also have "Deja Vu's" triplet sister in the keeper pen who could be called "Deja Vu-2". These lambs are examples of the consistent quality that their sire, "Great Divide" produces. You'll see "Deja Vu" or "DV-2" at the shows and sales in 2008.
Photos coming soon of the yearling ewes. We have a powerful selection of yearling ewes for sale as well as brood ewes. Available in the spring of 2008.

Another Prairie Rose yearling ram with the width, natural thickness, bone, hip, depth of body and spring of rib that many of our customers desire. He sold to a western ram producer.
We'll have more quality yearlings and ram lambs for sale in 2008. Stay tuned!
