Besancon Show Lambs Hampshire/Crossbred Lamb Breeder in Ohio The lambs were purchased from Allen and Christy Johnson of Johnson Show Lambs.

In 2006, at the conclusion of Joel's 4-H career, he and Olivia purchased two of their ewe lambs shown in the market lamb class at the Wayne County Fair. The help and guidance that the Johnson’s have provided has been very valuable, and we could not have gotten to this point without them. The majority of our ewes have the ram “Creole” in their pedigree. The following was said on the Johnson’s website when Creole was offered for sale in the 2010 America’s Top 20 Stud Ram Sale — “We purchased Creole from Bob and Ben Marcantel as a lamb in 2005. Creole combines two of the most consistent genetics in the industry. Creole is sired by Marcantel 43 while his dam is a line bred Scorcher daughter which Marcantel’s purchased from Mike Stitzlein. Creole sires lambs that are excellent in their rump shape and perfect in their rib shape. Creole lambs are structurally correct with a great combination of muscle and balance making them competitive at the highest levels. Creole daughters have also been very productive, producing some of the most competitive, highest selling wethers over the last three years. These daughters are the cornerstone to our breeding programs with 75 of our 100 ewes being Creole daughters or granddaughters. “

He has bold muscle expression with an ideal neck set that comes high and clean out of his shoulder. He’s smooth through his blade, balanced from end to end, and when set into motion he tracks the way a show lamb should. With his combination of eye appeal, mass, structure, and athletic movement, he’s the kind that can be competitive at any level.
