The females are the foundation of any good breeding program and we have striven to build consistent quality throughout our ewe flock. However, as in any flock, we have a few standouts that represent what we have been trying to achieve. Below is a sample of those outstanding ewes.

 

"Rogue"

Bred by Rule Sheep Co.
Owned with Hailey Albretch

Case and Hailey's pick from the 2018 Nugget All-American, this incredible sheep's show career was cut way too short by an injury, but not before racking up some pretty impressive wins before she even topped 100 lbs. We sure wish she could have shown longer to make more of a name for herself, but we are confident that her real legacy will be in the lambing barn. Thank you to both Rule Sheep Co. and Hailey for helping to get this piece into our barn.

"Aris"

Pagliaro-Bohan 209
Timber X Monster

Stud ewe right here! Sired by Timber, an Enigma son, out "Cookies," ExGame's dam, who was an impressive show ewe in her own right. Aris is a genetic goldmine and her phenotype is impeccable. We have high expectations that this ewe will influence our program for years to come.

"Starfire"

Emsoff 618
Maximus X Timber

This ewe was supposed to be our ram. We bought her dam, Aris, specifically in hopes of getting a keeper ram from Maximus. We unfortunately didn't get the ram we were hoping for before we lost Maximus but we did get Starfire and is she ever a dandy. From the moment she hit the ground we knew she was going to be special. She was born with a groove from the base of her skull all the way to her dock. As she matured, it became clear that she was not only going to have muscle, she was also going to have that absolutely impecible structural correctness that is so hard to find in one with that much shape. As her show carrer progressed, winning multiple classes and two supreme champion titles, it has been confirmed that Starfire is indeed something unique.

"Wicket"

Emsoff 542
ExGames X Comstock

Out of the twin sister to Commotion, "Wicket" is extremely linebred Composure. Her granddam is the foundation Nicewonger ewe below and she represents the type of sheep we have been striving to produce here at Emsoff Livestock Company.

*Tragicaly we lost Wicket during the birth of her very first lamb. But she contintues to represent what we strive for in our breeding program so we leave her here on our Ewes page as both a tribute to the great sheep that she was and as an inspiration for what is possible.
