Thank you to our ewe lamb buyers at the 2010 Stars of Louisville Sale: Lot 5-Northern Star (MN), Lot 6-Carol Howe (NH), & Lot 4-Brett Ebersole (IL). Also thank you from Athena Associates to the Bechman Family (IN) on their purchase of Lot 3. Lot 5 was 2nd in the NAILE open show 2 days after the Stars Sale.

60 degree day gave us a great start on washing & shearing for the trip to Louisville. Lot 3 had her extreme make-over today. Minus the wool you can now see her dam's genetics coming through in her length and feminine front and head.

The first progeny of NSLS 9108 were born in late October at MB Genetics. Uniformly very good heads and color, ideal birth weights and vigor, these lambs show so far that 9108 sires with predictability.

All three of our Stars of Louisville ewe lambs are sired by IMAGE.
IMAGE sired the first winner of the Florence Strouse Cup for best breed character ewe, awarded at the National Southdown Show, NAILE 2009.
Junior Champion Ewe at 2010 All-American Jr. Show was also sired by IMAGE.

Stars of Louisville Lot 5

This February ewe lamb was Reserve Grand Champion at the 2010 WI Sheep & Wool Festival Southdown open show, her only show. (Champion had been our yearling pictured in September 13th blog below.) Great ewe family for both production and in the show ring.
