Imported Semen

 K Bar K Farm imported Dorset semen from England from two rams from the Blackdown Flock (Great Garlandhayes Farm, UK). We are excited to bring these genetics into our flock. The Blackdown Flock is one of the top indexing flocks in Signet (the UK genetic evaluation program) and is also one of the most genetically linked flocks in the country. Kathy visited this flock and was impressed with the quality of animals and the breeding program. We had the first lamb crop from this project arrive  in March 2008 with plans to AI again to these rams in 2009.
