BZ 24034
BZ 24034 showed in the purple and lambed in the purple. A show ewe for Raesa as a lamb and what a one-year run she had. Wait. Didn’t I just say that. Won her class at THE EVENT, Junior Champion Ewe and Reserve Champion Ewe Overall, Reserve Champion Ewe at the Great Plains Show (Got beat by BZ 23086), Reserve Champion Ewe at the Western Regional Suffolk Show (Got beat by BZ 23086), 1st January Ewe Lamb at the Iowa State Fair Open and Junior Shows/Reserve Slick Shorn Ewe in the Junior Show (Got beat by BZ 23086), Champion Ewe at the South Dakota State Fair Junior Suffolk Show and 3rd at Louisville in both the Open and Junior Show. Was not shown as a yearling, because she was bred to ATLAS for fall lambs which turned into a pair of ewe lambs, lot 4 sold to Lloyd McCabe, CA in our March Click to Claim Sale and one is still in the barn. 23086 and 24034 personify the type of Suffolks we are trying to raise to get to the WINNERS CIRCLE and be high end GENERATORS in the lambing room. 24034 is sired by BOOM and BZ 56 a SLACK 8088 daughter. I would say she is the best 8088 daughter we have but, that would be shortchanging a sire group that has given us a multitude of FOUNDATION females. But 56 ranks right up there and has produced rams working at Russell Sheep Company in IN and 56’s dam BZ 7003 had one that worked well for Abeldt Suffolks in KS.

BZ 23086
BZ 23086 showed in the purple and lambed in the purple. A show ewe for Raesa as a yearling and what a on- year run she had.  Won her class at THE EVENT and was Reserve Senior Champion Ewe, Champion Suffolk Ewe at the Great Plains Show, Champion Ewe at the Western Regional Suffolk Show, 2nd Yearling Ewe at the Iowa State Fair Open Show and 1st and Champion Slicked Ewe ISF Junior Suffolk Show and 4th at Louisville in the Open and Junior Shows.  Then the following March she had a pair of lambs by CHILLIN, one might be in the show flock this year and this year she has our top ATLAS January ewe lamb.  Sired by BANANA and out of DIRT ROAD’S mom.  

Bar-Zel 75
BZ 75 is out of Slack 8088 and a nine year old brood ewe Bar-Zel 1122. Raesa had this ewe lamb picked as a show ewe before she left the lambing jugs. Flawless in her structure, round and deep in her middle and rear flank and easy on the eyes from the side. Young with nothing but an accomplished list of showring winnings, we expect big things from this one in the future. Her phenotype is what we want all of our ewes to look like and her outcross pedigree allows us to breed her to multiple rams to accomplish different objectives in our flock.

	Raesa’s run with 75 included:
	Supreme Champion Ewe at Brookings County 4-H Show Supreme Champion Ewe at SD State Fair FFA Show Champion Ewe at SD Junior Suffolk Show Champion Suffolk Ewe SD State Fair 4-H Show

Bar-Zel 9046
9046 was Junior Champion Suffolk Ewe at the All American Junior Show in Kansas in 2019. The picture does not accurately portray the phenotypic quality this ewe possess. She is at the top of the scorecard for top and rib shape, femininity, and is a flock favorite for udder quality. Genetically, she is a double bred Slick Slack sired by a home raised ram we called “3D” and dammed by the BZ 5007. Same mamma as Betsy. She had a ram lamb as a yearling ewe and is about ready to wean a super set of twins this year. Her ewe lamb will be in our keeper pen and ram lamb is a stud prospect.

Bar-Zel 8030
Betsy was a very competitive show ewe and an even more accomplished brood ewe. She is a grand daughter of Slick Slack and daughter of BZ 5007. 5007 is an absolute beast. She was ahead of her time in the Suffolk breed and I will admit it I was slow to realize what a breeding treasure she is. Jim Van Dyke was not and he got 2 of the 3 daughters we sold out of 5007. Since then we have hoarded five. We will build our flock around her genetics. Betsy had the most decorated career of the 5007 females. She was Reserve Slick Suffolk ewe at the 2018 Suffolk Junior Show in Indiana, Supreme Ewe at the SD Summer Spotlight Show and Champion Slicked and 3rd Overall Ewe at the SD State Fair 4-H Show. Her contributions as a brood ewe tracks closely behind those of her dam. Last year she raised triplets unassisted and this year she weaned at set of twins. High growth sheep with design, muscle and growth with phenotypic quality.
