California guys have always been hit and miss coming Lee. Some of the above on your list have had some family issues to deal with. Nice to meet people, and I left after hamp sale. I was tired and if left early could make it home to my own bed last night. I also had some transfer sheep to connect with, so missed meeting some of the regulars that I normally come to see. Over all, I liked the changes, and thought the hamps sold very well , as did the Dorsets the day before.
Should have been something for about any program to add to,depending on funding.
I had bought a hamp ram earlier in the year, and was glad . The ones I would have liked, would have inflicted some serious pain , and like Snarky, might have resorted to LAI. I think that spending to 10 k to have Glenn Ericson equip and train me, and then utilizing purchased semen, might still be a bargain, compared to some of the rams.
I did not get a chance to show you the MGD son from Klienert I had on the trailer. He is more impressive than when I looked at him & weeks ago. A May 2 nd 2014 model that still has a tight lamb mouth. Based on that and his youthful head, he may be younger than some of the offerings sold , that were listed as much younger.
However, I always like carnivals and freak shows, so Sedalia is on my annual bucket list.
