A Purebred Hampshire, 6244 is a very unique genetic piece in the Hampshire gene pool tracing six times in six generations to Rising Star. 6244 may be the purest, living Hampshire ram to trace in an intensely linebred fashion to the famous Hampshire rams Jackpot, Tabletop, and Happy Days without "more recent" Hampshire breed additions and outcrosses. Many of you will recognize that Jackpot sired the well-respected ram, Cabinass 801-86. 6244 has proven his ability over the years to sire " changer"-type lambs as well as females of incomparable maternal ability. We bred many key linebred Mayer Hampshire x Knop / Crazy Horse females in our flock to 6244. We would encourage you to research the pedigrees of the offspring of these matings to be born this spring. Note that our linebred Mayer Hampshire lines and 6244's pedigree trace to the same ancestral gene pool. Check with us regarding semen availability.
