CUSTOM STOCKDOGS SUFFOLK CROSS SHEEP  (see photos)

Custom Stockdogs has been raising sheep for 17 years.  For the past 8 years we have really concentrated on using the thickest muscled and the most correct structured sheep in our breeding program.  We pay attention to production records and how the ewes raise the lambs they produce. 

Most of our lambs go to the meat market with the best kept for replacements and a few fancy lambs going for show lambs.  The Suffolk cross lambs are not registered.  They are shown in crossbred or meat lamb classes.

We have only taken our own sheep to two shows.  One lamb we took to The Eastern States Exposition in Massachusetts was Champion Meat Lamb of the show.  He was judged on the hoof and on the rail.  He won the sweepstakes for the best combination placing in both classes.

We took a set of breeding sheep to the Wisconsin State Fair and took second place flock.  The set of sheep we took was very uniform and very well received by other exhibitors.

We have sold a few ewes and rams to other breeders of commercial type sheep with good results.

Sheep we sell work well for other people to train their own dogs.  If you have ever tried to start your own puppy you know how important using the right stock can be.  We offer training sheep that can cut your training time in half especially when you are working with a young dog or puppy.

We also offer Indian Runner Ducks for sale if you are interested in working your dog on ducks.

The new lambs are looking great.   We will have some Brood ewes and lambs for sale after weaning this Spring. 

We usually have a nice commercial ram for sale.

We purchased a son of Coyote from Hindman Show Lambs at the Midwest Stud Ram Sale and have had 2 lamb crops from him.  He has complimented the breeding of our ewes sired by the  other rams we purchased from Sedalia and privately.  The bloodlines we have used include Mcllrath, Wattonville, Mattingly and Gittings.

Pictured to the left are some of our yearlings we are preparing to breed in August 2005.  They represent the first lamb crop from our Coyote son.  We liked them so much we retained 30 ewe lambs from 2004 and 17 from 2005.  We are excited to breed these ewes for the first time and see the results next Spring!
