K Bar K Stud Rams

Edgar 0056 was purchased from Edgar Sheep. He has an outstanding loin eye and produces ewes who are outstanding in maternal characteristics. Edgar 0056 is RR at Codon 171 for scrapie susceptibility. This ram is now a aging ram who is living out his geriatric years on our farm.

K BAR K 088005 and 088007 are two of the UK-sired rams from our AI project (See "UK Sires" below) that are current flock sires. We tentatively plan on AI'ing again to these genetics in Fall 2010. These rams are RR at Codon 171. We will be offering more rams with UK genetics in early 2010.  If you are interested in these genetics, I recommend you contact us early to get on a notification list when they become available. The first crop of these genetics sold fast.

UK Sires

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 the near future.
