I’ve traveled a lot of miles and looked at a lot of sheep over the last 15 years, and I can honestly say I haven’t seen more than a handful that possess the unique combination of base width, rib cage design, and the way it all blends so smoothly into a neat shoulder, neck, and head carriage. This sheep has absolutely zero breastplate. It’s mind-blowing to see him in person, and I believe he is a very special individual from a breeding standpoint, especially within the Southdown breed.

I’ve been extremely focused on making our Southdowns longer and more level out of their hip and wider at their pins, and because of that, I almost cut this guy. Looking back, I believe that would have been a huge mistake. He’s good in his upper hip design, but not a changer there like Clean Slate was. However, he has an incredible amount of lower stifle shape and sets down on a set of giant, wooly legs.

When people call and ask which buck they should breed their pretty-made Southdown ewes to that just need to be more blown apart, my answer is Frank The Tank, 100% of the time.

I truly believe that, when mated correctly, this guy has the ability to make some incredible show sheep.
