Our Lead Females
Since 2006 every other year we have purchased either our 1st or 2nd choice ewe out of Elllerbrock’s annual bred ewe sale. Over 1/3 of our flock now traces to these maternal roots. Several other of our ewes trace to Mapmaker, the offspring of our first bred Ellerbrock ewe 4687. In the last few years we have narrowed our ewe lines in our flock so we have been offering for sale very few of the daughters of these ewes. However now that over 1/3 of our ewes are from the Ellerbrock clan, we anticipate that some of their daughters will make the list of ewe lambs for sale in 2014.

The Elliot Trio - Log Dog/Trunk x Composure
Introducing our Elliot trio. We have purchased 3 closely related ewes from Clay Elliot in 2013. Sired by Log Dog or his father Trunk, these ewes are all out of Composure daughters. Composure is in the pedigree of most new genetics we have added to our flock in the last 4 years. Our newest stud ram, Predator nicely ties to these ewes and our below Ellerbrock group of ewes as he is descended from Trunk and Composure and traces to Authentic/Advantage as do several of our Ellerbrock ewes. We didn’t tell Clay of our plan to buy some of his top Log Dog/Trunk ewes out of Composure daughters but it was interesting to see that this genetic line up kept being his lead ewe in each sale.
