Case is getting this show thing figured out. He won champion yearling ewe and reserve junior showman at the Stateline Spectacular jackpot with his ExGames ewe, "Wicket."


Another of our ExGames lambs, "Chewie," won champion junior breeding ewe at Alameda County Fair, shown by Kari McMann.

Another big win for Kari McMann with "Chewie," her ExGames ewe lamb from us. Supreme Champion Ewe at Santa Clara County Fair. Kari also won advanced showmanship with this lamb. It is definitely exciting to see what our sheep can do in the hands of a good feeder! Thanks, Kari!

Wow, what a great county fair! As breeders, we have had lambs in the champion round for probably the last ten years, but those banners have eluded us. Last year my own son was so close with a third overall. We were right there! We finally broke into the winner's circle this year and in a big way!  We also had a great debut with our Dorpers. It wasn't a big show but there were a couple other breeders there and our sheep made a clean sweep of the show!

We also bred the top two lambs in the lightweight class. All said and done, Case was undefeated in the ring and four of the five market lambs we bred were in the champion round. We are so thankful to the great kids that worked so hard on their projects!

We lost Strykeforce last winter.  We're starting to regret that a lot more.  We sold several of his late born daughters last year and a couple this summer.  Results have been pretty decent, here are the results of 3 of the ewes that were shown.  The others were sold to families with kids too young too show this  year.
- Champion open class commercial ewe 2016 Cannon Valley Fair
- 1st place wether dam ewe and 3rd ewe overall in 2016 Dakota County Fair
- Reserve champion yearling wether dam ewe 2016 MN State 4-H show
Pictured is the reserve champion yearling wether dam ewe at MN State 4-H ewe.

It's always hard to lose a good one! Hopefully you kept enough daughters for yourselves to keep his legacy going.

The Cashmere FFA took 8 lambs to the fair this week and 5 of 8 were my lambs in the FFA champion drive.  They placed Grand and Reserve Grand.  They also had 2 of my lambs with a younger sibling.  That lamb took Reserve Grand on the 4-H side as well.  Great job to the feeding and showing that those kids did!
One of our lambs also placed Reserve Grand FFA a month ago at the Skagit Fair.
Pics to follow.  By the way. All of these were Apollo lambs!!!

Our debut at Lambtown in Dixon, California was a huge success! This is an interesting show. Only registered sheep, broken up into "type" divisions. The ram and ewe division winners then all compete together for Supreme Champion Meat Sheep and Supreme Champion Wool Sheep. One of our Dorper ewes won Supreme Champion Meat Sheep. The judge commented that that was the first time she's ever used a Dorper. The trophy was as big as our little ewe!


We also won Reserve Champion Hair Ram.

Lauren LaDuque has been doing pretty well down in Texas with this little ExGames x Maximus ewe we sent her. Most recent was a class 2 win at the Williamson County Youth Expo.
