Project Lambs and Project Opportunity


Project Lambs and Project Opportunity
Please see photos of our best set of lambs ever! We were blessed this year with many lambs and a high % of males and so the quality is deep! What kind of quality? The kind that has been producing Champions at the Barron County Fair and around Northern Wisconsin for the past few years for our family and many others. The kind coming out of some of the most successful genetics in the country.
Yes, we know there is much uncertainty in these times about shows and fairs but it is our belief that livestock projects are a still a great way to teach and grow kids. We believe in this project so much and that these lambs will work so well that we are going to offer a special guarantee and a special kind of show this year.
  • All project lambs sold we will buy back at original price if your county fair is canceled!
  • All project lambs sold will be eligible for our virtual show with $500 in prizes!
What’s the catch? There is no catch but our simple desire to get our lambs into the hands of families to have a great experience with their lamb project!
As another way of helping families have a better experience, we recommend the following series of YouTube clips
