If you have a Hampshire flock that you would like to put into NSIP, one of the most important early steps is to get your flocked genetically linked to other flocks. Sharing stud rams is the best way to do this. Next best is using a son of a shared ram. Buying Cyclone semen would be an excellent way to get that linked established as he's been used in 3 flocks and has sons working in flocks also and he was born into a 4th NSIP flock. He is the 2nd ram on the Hampshire sire summary, 693005-2014-014118, see: http://nsip.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Hampshire-Elite-Proven-Sires-May-2016-2.pdf, His son (working in our flock), is the clear leader in the sire summary for ram lambs, http://nsip.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Hampshire-Elite-Young-Rams-May-2016.pdf
