The Story

Rooted in Excellence Since 1985

It started with a simple vision: to breed a ram that could thrive in the rugged hill country while producing superior wool and meat.

Through lean years and bountiful seasons, the philosophy remained unchanged. We don't chase fads. We breed for structure, hardiness, and genetic consistency.
