LOT 97 ~ YEARLING RAM ~ 3RD PLACE RAM, CLASS 1 ~A BIG THANKS GOES TO WHITE RANCH, CORNING, CALIFORNIA FOR PURCHASING THIS POWERFUL RAM~ "Locomotive", Prairie Rose 7511-2 QR/NN Born: 1/29/07 Sire: "Great Divide", Luxford 03-1131A Dam: Prairie Rose 511 This is a big bodied, massive ram that is a powerful, naturally thick, long fellow that is wide out over the hip. He is a paternal half brother to "Burlington Northern" the stud we sold at the Nugget in 2006 for $8,500. He is an impressive individual with a great temperment, much like his sire. If you liked "Big Burly" in 2006, you'll love this ram. We line bred with this ram and he produced some outstanding lambs for us. Need mass, spring of rib, depth of body, length, and natural thickness built into your flock, this is the stud! Range buyers take note: Ram sire material here.

He has mass, length, height, correctness and has a great pattern. He is still on the grow and still has his lamb's teeth. He is sired by "Saddle Tramp", Luxford 04-1256A, who stamps his offspring with extra length and style and he is dammed by a "Great Divide" daughter which is where he gets his mass and substance from. He's really a solid ram with a great look to him.

He is a good headed, massive ram with a great top, clean front, natural thickness and a big hip. He has been a stand-out since birth and his dam had another powerful pair of lambs this year. He is the first offering out of "TomBoy", one of our best "Great Divide" daughters, going back to one of our most powerful ewe lines. His grandsire, "Great Divide", sired the Reserve Senior Champion Ram at the Nugget for Ansel in 2005 and whose own grandsire was the Reserve Champion Ram and high selling ram at the Nugget in 2002. "Tomcat" is a high quality stud ram, top to bottom. Great pedigree, great ram!

LOT 100 ~ YEARLING RAM ~ 6TH RAM, CLASS 4, SIRED THE 1ST PLACE JANUARY RAM LAMB AT THE 08 NUGGET FOR SYRINGA SUFFOLKS, IDAHO. ~ANOTHER BIG THANKS TO REBECCA HEIN, ELK GROVE, CA, FOR PURCHASING THIS GOOD RAM!~ "Long Range", Prairie Rose 7615-1 RR/NN Born: 2/15/07 Sire: "Saddle Tramp", Luxford 04-1256A Dam: Prairie Rose 615 Still on the grow, this ram is extremely long with a very impressive loin. He is a good fleeced buck as well, good headed, and has a full thick top. He still has his lamb's teeth as of this posting, so we suspect this guy will get big. His maternal grandmother, Prairie Rose 507, dammed "Mule Train", the buck we sold at the National Sale in 2007 for $3,500. Don and Edie McCormick, Syringa Suffolks, leased "Long Range" as a lamb & he sired a great set of lambs for them! Great potential here. Excellent pedigree to boot.
