St. Croix ram selection is the most important decision in a seedstock breeding program. This is because a ram has far more potential to change the genetics of a flock than a ewe. We used three registered St. Croix rams to produce our Fall 2026 lamb crop. All our rams are tested routinely for Johne’s Disease, caseous lymphadenitis (CL), and ovine progressive pneumonia (OPP).
Jasper
Registration #15187 – Summit 1179 Jasper – born 06/25/2014 – Twin, White, Polled. He is a large, muscular, well-proportioned ram with excellent conformation. Jasper’s progeny consistently grow fast. He comes to us from Summit Farm‘s Yates Colby, who bred and raised these sheep with an eye for early growth and correct conformation for many years before moving to Dorpers. We have retained several of his daughters and have used two of his sons; MFO 2312 Langgan and MFO 2409 Morden.
Morden
Registration #20414 – MFO 2409 Morden – born 04/04/2024 – Triplet, White, Polled. He is a son of Summit 1179 Jasper and Shepherd’s Bluff 0066 Mary. He carries Jasper’s masculinity and conformation, and hopefully his daughters will inherit his dam’s maternal traits. He was the second fastest growing lamb in 2024, even as a triplet.
Bartie
Registration #21464 – Summit 250968 Bartie – born 01/17/2025 – Twin, Color, Polled. This St. Croix ram is the son of HHR 1002 Leroy and Summit 1100 Marty. He is our first purebred St. Croix ram with color.
