LOT #3

WHEATON 5-063:  WETHER

Sire:  Big Papi 

Dam:  Wheaton 1-157 (donor sired by True Blood)

Notes:  Lot 3 and 4 are flush brothers, each with a vary high ceiling.  As you can see they are big bodied, huge hipped and good footed.  This pair has been farm favorites for some time and we expect big things from them this summer.  5-063 is incredibly smooth in his muscle pattern and handles with a lot of shape down his top.  Their mother is a top True Blood daughter that had a high dollar ewe lamb at Sedalia in 2014.  This was her first flush and she is going right back in the donor pen.  

LOT #4

WHEATON 5-066:  WETHER

Sire:  Big Papi

Dam:  Wheaton 1-157 (donor sired by True Blood)

Notes:  Lot 3 and 4 are flush brothers, each with a vary high ceiling.  As you can see they are big bodied, huge hipped and good footed.  This pair has been farm favorites for some time and we expect big things from them this summer.  5-066's recipe mother stopped milking as much the last 2+ weeks and he is a bit thinner than his flush brother, but don't let that fool you.  He has all the makings of a good one!  Their mother is a top True Blood daughter that had a high dollar ewe lamb at Sedalia in 2014.  This was her first flush and she is going right back in the donor pen.  

LOT #5

WHEATON 5-072:  WETHER

Sire:  Centerfold

Dam:  Wheaton 2-099 (donor sired by Classic Touch)

Notes:  Here is a stout made, big bodied Centerfold that will feed.  He is incredibly wide based, big topped and square on all corners.  His mom is one of our best Classic Touch daughters that goes back to the Best Buy (ram used successfully by Larry Despain) ewe family and the Champion lamb at the 2011 American Royal.  This lamb is a flush brother to lot 6. 

LOT #6

WHEATON 5-076:  WETHER

Sire:  Centerfold

Dam:  Wheaton 2-099 (donor sired by Classic Touch)

Notes:  This is one of the most intriguing lambs in the sale.  We left him as a ram for a long time and we expected him to stay that way.  After a lot of discussion we decided to cut him to make a killer wether for the show circuit.  He is incredibly square down his top, loaded with shape out of his hip, all while maintaining a great silhouette from the side. This is one to really watch.  His mom is one of our best Classic Touch daughters that goes back to the Best Buy (ram used successfully by Larry Despain) ewe family and the Champion lamb at the 2011 American Royal.  This lamb is a flush brother to lot 5.

LOT #7

WHEATON 5-077:  WETHER

Sire:  Centerfold

Dam:  Wheaton 9-071 (donor sired by Exile)

Notes:  If you are hunting a state fair wether that will run at the top, look here.  This wether is tall fronted, level topped, square rumped and massive boned.  He is a flush brother to the ram lamb we sold half of the Elliott and he has the makings of a big time wether.  His mother (Wheaton 9-071) has been a long time donor and comes from a very prolific ewe family.  Wheaton 9-071 is out of Exile x Miller 3468, who is the twin sister to Millers famous donor 3469 (Da Vinci x Classic's mom).  9-071 won a market division at the Iowa State Fair in 2009, and had a ram we used called The Situation.  This is also the same ewe family that had the Reserve Champion lamb at the American Royal in 2011.  

LOT #8

WHEATON 5-081:  WETHER

Sire:  Centerfold

Dam:  Wheaton 1-013 (donor sired by Untouchable)

Notes:  This Centerfold wether is great outlined, square topped and shapely.  His full brother won his class at the Ohio State Fair in 2014 and we think this one has a bright future as well.  He also comes from a consistent female line that produces every year.  His mom was Champion Hampshires Ewe at NAILE in 2012 and his grandmother had "The Full Monty" in 2014 (keeper Centerfold son) and her 2015 Centerfold son (Wheaton 5-018) will also be kept.

LOT #9

WHEATON 5-082:  WETHER

Sire:  Big Papi

Dam:  Wheaton 3-020 (sired by Mosey)

Notes:  This is one of the stoutest made wether in the sale.  He is a perfect example of the Big Papi lambs, huge ribbed, big topped and smooth handling.  From the side he has the look to win and we expect him to feed well this summer.  His mom is sired by Mosey on a great Classic daughter.  

LOT #10

WHEATON 5-084:  WETHER

Sire:  Big Papi

Dam:  Wheaton 3-112 (sired by Mosey)

Notes:  This lamb is bred just like lot 9 and is a perfect example of what we get when we cross Big Papi on the Mosey daughters.  Tall fronted, big topped and structurally correct.  This lamb will feed a bit longer than some as he is a bit more compact.  He would be a perfect candidate to run at the summer state fairs in the midwest and hold for a major in the fall.  This one has a lot of potential.
