• KLT Natasha Z52 ROM, a prolific older ewe, 240% lifetime lambing in five lambings, and
  
• KLT Tuppence C97 ROM , a large framed good milking ewe who gave us 180% lamb crop in ten lambings. A foundation ewe full of personality as well.
  
• RRF Charlene D2, produced a couple ROM daughters for our flock that have had a positive impact. Current flock sire Prairie T102 goes back to this dam.
• Prairie Black Eyed Pea K113 ROM, Prince daughter most prolific producer.

Our original flock sire was Bramble Hill C5. He was a solid ram with a nice meat build. His dam is a Registry of Merit ewe and his breeding goes back to Pedwardine breeding. He produced some Registry of Merit daughters and his lines continue in our flock with his second generation offspring.

Ram HFC A9 "Prince" came to us later in his life from Bramble Hill and his legacy remains after only a couple of breedings for us. He is found in the pedigrees of many of our current producers. He produced some good daughters who we inseminated with imported semen.

Ram Emmett Farm's J034 "Dirk", a son of "Danyreglwys Derek", one of the imported lines from the UK. We saw Derek in Wales when we visited the Honduu flock in the fall of 1999. Derek was a large, very correct ram who goes back to Babram bloodlines on his dam's side and Pen-y-wern and Easter Beltie lines on his sire's side. "Dirk" is one of the three Derek sons resulting from Dan Emmett's artificial insemination efforts and has Gordito (Canadian) breeding on his dam's side. We purchased this ram in December 2000. Dirk has produced very consistent daughters with good breed type. Dirk's son, Prairie T102 "Devon" is a son of Dirk and not only will he carry on the line but will improve it. He is solidly built with strong legs and feet along with good width and length. His daughters to date are consistent with good type. We also have a son of his, Prairie W6 Shooter, who is linebred with J034 “Dirk” as grandsire on both sides.

Breeding Sires:

Only rams of multiple births will be registered with the exception of AI sired rams from ROM dams. All of our Clun rams are registered with the North American Clun Forest Association NACFA.
Current Clun Forest sires in our flock consist of rams carrying a combination of lines from our proven past producers and the added import genetics. Some linebreeding is being done to develop these lines. Emphasis is given to selecting rams from good producing dams. Also, I freely castrate so the number of rams selected to offer for sale from each lamb crop is limited. Stock is evaluated with the use computerized perfomance data and Lambplan EBV's; for soundness and conformation; and for the ability to thrive in response to environmental conditions. Current flock sires in use will be featured from time to time on my blog www.littleprairiecluns.blogspot.com.

Bluefaced Leicester Rams: Crossed on our Clun ewes to Produce Clun Mules

• Glen Roth: Bluefaced Leicester ram from Beechtree Farm. He has good type and a very fine fleece. He is the sire of our current Clun Mule Sheep.

Netherlands Import Lines in Flock:

We had great success with artificial insemination of our ewes with the imported Netherlands semen (rams SAN 125 and FAF 00025) in 2004 and 2005 and have a good basis of these lines represented in the flock. We are awaiting lambs from our 2010 artificial insemination and used semen from Netherlands rams SAN 125, TBV 071, and 1 straw of OWE 227.

• FAF 025: ARR/ARR This ram's semen was imported from the Netherlands in 2004 and he himself was imported from the U.K. in 2000 by Gerard Scholtes. He was bred by Tom Francis and is pedigree has Pen Y Wern, Guifron, and Woodhouse lines. He is a proven top producer and show ram in the Netherlands.
  SAN 125: ARR/ARR This ram's semen was imported from the Netherlands in 2004. He was bred by Mr. van der Schaaf and owned by Mr. Budding. His pedigree is heavy with Laidlaw and Babraham bloodlines on the sire side. Champion Yearling Ram 2003 National Show.
