Introducing a few of our 2024 Flock Sires
Flock Prefix:   NWT      NSIP Flock ID:  640052

Our sires are selected for high, balanced Genomically-enhanced EBV's (Estimated Breeding Values), parasite resistance, and growth on pasture.  We participate in the National Sheep Improvement Program, parasite resistance research and both the VT Forage based Ram Test and the UF Ram Test. 

NSIP ID:  6400452022WRI072
WRI 22-072     codon:  RR

MWWT:  1.7
WWT:  3.1
PWW:  5.2
WFEC:  -73
PFEC:  -48
NLB/NLW:  8/10
KATAHDIN INDEX:  102.9
This ram, bred by Lee Wright, is in the top 5% for both milk and growth.  Top 30% for parasite resistant. He was a top performer in the 2022 VT Ram Test.  A very balanced ram that maintains good condition on pasture.

NSIP ID:  6400602020RMK072
RMK 20-072      codon:  RR

MWWT:  .7
WWT:  2.4
PWW:  4
WFEC:  -48
PFEC:  -84
NLB/NLW:  14/19
KATAHDIN INDEX:  104.2

This proven ram, bred by Jim Morgan, is the total package. He is in the top 10% for maternal traits, top 30% for growth with great PR. An excellent son of his, NWT 22-037, will again be used for breeding.  We are looking forward to seeing the offspring of both in 2024.  

            NSIP ID: 6400522022NWT037
            NWT 22-037      codon:  RR

            MWWT: .7
            WWT:  2.2
            PWWT:  3.6
            WFEC:   -68
            PFEC:  -98
            NLB/NLW:  16/16
            KATAHDIN INDEX:  103.5

         This yearling son of RMK 1072 is extremely balanced.                   He is in the top 1% for post-weaning FEC.  Top 20% for               maternal traits and well above average for growth.  He                 sired two of the top performers in the 2023 VT Ram test.

             NCS 22-025      codon:  RR

                                                                                                           MWWT: -.2
              WWT:  1.7
              PWWT:  3
              WFEC:  -49
              PFEC:  -53
              PEMD:  .97
              NLB/NLW:  0/1
              KATADHIN INDEX:  101.5

         In our never-ending search for unrelated genetics, we                 came upon this ram from Dr. Andrew Weaver's breeding               program at North Carolina State.  What caught our eye is             his PEMD EBV, which is the top 1%. PEMD measures loin             eye size and is a good indicator of increased muscling.
