NWT 19075 "Patriot" is one of the main herd sires we are using for the 2020 lambing season. This ram lamb was definitely our favorite pick out of Roxanne Newton's flock at Hound River Farm in Georgia. Not only does he have exceptional EBV's, but he is also built well with a great hair coat and black hooves. When it comes to conformation, this ram is the ideal candidate for looks! Short, stocky, and super thick, this ram brings the meat conformation needed in any flock. He passed that on to many of his lambs, as well as his parasite resistance, with some lambs in the top 1-5%. This ram is incredibly well balanced, with solid traits in milk, mothering, lamb survivability, and growth. On top of that, his parasite resistance is stellar, with EBV's in the top 4-6% for WFEC and PFEC. This ram's sire came from Frank Stahl's flock in Ohio, which is a very low input grass based system. This ram has genetics from forage based flocks entirely back 4 generations. We are using him on a group of ewes, and he is also being used at our friends' flock, Ark Ranch. He was also used by Lynn Fahrmeier in transit back to Idaho, so he should also bring some nice connectivity in NSIP.
