Big day at Haws Genetics & Club Lambs. 🧬🐑
Today was the largest AI day we’ve had since the E-Roc days, and we were fortunate to utilize a group of bucks we’re extremely excited about:
🔥 Yahtzee
🔥 Tres Amigos
🔥 Unfiltered
🔥 Wallen
🔥 Common Ground
🔥 Closing Time
I’m excited about every one of these bucks and what they can do for our program, but there are two I’m especially fired up about.
YAHTZEE
I’ve traveled a lot of miles and looked at a lot of livestock over the last 4–5 years. I can honestly say I’ve never left a place after seeing a buck and immediately started game-planning how I wanted to use him.
Yahtzee hit me that hard.
I think he is one of the single best pieces of livestock I’ve been fortunate enough to see in person. More importantly, I felt like he was an absolutely perfect fit for the direction we need to take our FF ewes.
We used him with a purpose today, and I’m awfully excited to see if he can make the kind of change I believe he can.
CLOSING TIME
On the Southdown side, I’ve been frantically searching for the buck to follow Mailbox Money.
We’ve bought bucks. We’ve bought semen. Several of them have done a really nice job, and I still think Frank the Tank has some big-time WOW factor and can make some changer pieces……BUT when Closing Time hit the ground, I felt different about him.
I just thought he was an elite piece of livestock.
Closing Time is Clean Slate × Dani’s Else ewe, and after dealing with a hernia and getting him patched back together, I honestly didn’t know until the last few weeks whether we would get him fertile enough to utilize heavily this year.
This week he made some drastic improvements, and today he was fertile enough to AI 20 head. 🙌🏼
I’m pretty pumped about the turn I think this buck can push our Downs in. He is registered, and if things continue progressing, we may be able to have semen available to ship soon.
All in all, it was a heck of a solid day.
Now we wait…
📅 January 15th due date.
And if today went the way we hope it did, January 15th is going to be BUSY, BUSY around here. 😎🐑🔥

Last week while I was in Oklahoma judging, I made the quick trip over to Prairie Grove, AR to visit Urban Sires and check in on PARADISE CITY. 🌴🔥
I hadn’t laid eyes on him since we purchased him at the Cowboy Connection during Corp weekend, and he’s done some substantial manning up! 👀💪🏼
I was extremely pleased with the specimen he’s turning into. He’s got the elite backdrop look we bought him for, and as he continues to mature, we’re even more excited about what we believe he can do for us. We plan to use him HARD in our late AI work. 🧬🐑
With the run his sire, Surprises, has been putting together lately, the timing couldn’t be much better to…
🎶 “Take me down to the Paradise City, Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty…” 🎶 🌴🏆
PARADISE CITY is fertile, shipping, and ready to go!
📲 Holler at us if you want to get him worked into your late breeding plans.
