Suffolk Stud Sires
When we look for stud sires we try to choose ones that will complement and improve our flock. We look for good feet and legs with good bone and long deep bodies. We are a Lambplan flock and use this data as a guide when purchasing sires but conformation will always be on the top of our list above anything else. Temperament is also very important to us, as this is a trait that is very noticeable in the progeny.
Sires Used
Advancer 110460 ‘Scotty’
Used in our 2022 AI program. His progeny are stylish, thick, well muscled rams and ewes. They have thick bone, good natures and traditional Suffolk heads. The 87.5 % UK bloodline has had a large influence on his progeny.
Sons 220746, 220749, 220755 and 220785 have been used within the stud, and have continued to pass on Scotty’s traits.
Blue Rock 220749
220749 is the son of Advancer 110460 ‘Scotty’. He has good bone and a beautiful head, reflecting his sire’s UK bloodlines. He is well muscled and a long bodied ram. Having been used in 2023 as a ram lamb, 749 has already proven himself as a stud sire. He has been retained in our stud for our 2024 drop.
