Here's some shots from the Pioneer Showdown last Sunday in Lancaster. Connor joined us and helped Liza show a Yearling for the first time. Sheila also joined us this week and her Liza and Rachel rocked their matching dunks. Made four drives, won a WFX class with our Dorset ewe and Liza got her first 2nd place in a Jackpot with her Market lamb Timeout Tommy.

We'll be in Wautoma tomorrow for the Spring Fling with the whole crew so it should make for another fun busy weekend.

Good luck to everyone going and we're excited to see you all there!

We started our jackpot season in Ellsworth with smiles, focus, and determination. Liza and Molly did great getting the lambs ready and shown, and we couldn't have got it all done without all the help from Rachel and Brian at the wash rack and trailer. Went home late and tired but it's all worth it when you have such a great team putting in the work.

Thank you to everyone who participated in the Wisconsin Club Lamb Association Consignment Lamb Sale yesterday on SC Online Sales.

We appreciate the bidders, buyers, watchers, and everyone who took a look at the lambs. Sales like this take a lot of people working together and we're grateful to be part of it.

Our speck wether is headed to Lyndon Station, and the ewe lamb to Waupaca. We're excited to watch what the future holds for both of them.

Congratulations to all the breeders and families involved.
