From the pen to the ring
We’re With You All Season
Expert advice from a family that started as showmen. Picking the lamb is the easy part.
Three stops between the barn and the banner
We have been on both sides of the ring, and we know where families get stuck.
So the help is not a PDF. It is a phone number you can actually call, from the day you pick the lamb through the morning of the show.
How We Help
The same three steps for every family, whether it is a first 4-H project or a seasoned showman after a state banner.
Pick the right lamb
We match the line and the lamb to your showman and your goals, on the phone, before anything is decided.

Call UsQuestions We Get Asked
When should I call about a lamb?
As early in the season as you can. The earlier we talk, the more lambs we have to choose from and the more time your showman has with the one you pick.
Call (815) 383-2056 or send an inquiry and tell us the show dates you are working toward.
What should I tell you on the first call?
Who is showing and how much experience they have, which fairs or shows you are aiming at, and what you are chasing this season. That is enough for us to point you at a line.
Which line is right for a first-year showman?
Usually Dorset Advantage. Those are the lambs we select for temperament as much as structure, so a kid can lead and work one alone. If you are chasing a state show banner, ask us about White Face Cross instead.
Do you help after the sale?
Yes. We started as showmen ourselves and we stay on the phone through the summer: leading, feeding, grooming and show day. That is part of what you are buying.
Where do your lambs show?
County fairs and state shows across the Midwest. Lambs out of this barn have won at the Illinois State Fair, Midwest Elite, NEOLA and the Iroquois County Fair.
Can I come see the lambs?
Call us and we will set it up. We are in Cullom, Illinois.
