Introducing "Gauge"! The extremely popular January ram lamb exhibited at the Midwest Stud 

Ram Show and Sale by Matt Hays of Hays Bros Club Lambs. We are proud to announce that he is now owned 

by Double F Club Lambs of KY and Poe Hampshires of IN. 

While we have always maintained our flocks separately, emphasis is placed on many of the same traits.

level, square hip. He is exceptionally sound footed and 

wide based. We felt he was the most complete ram of the 

entire 2008 Midwest Sale. In addition he is linebred, and 

his pedigree reveals many of the same genetics we have already 

worked with. Consequently we know he will work very well, with no surprises. What a very 

rare opportunity, to KNOW that your next ram will work! Please be sure to see our sale consignments

PRESIDENT’S 

MESSAGE 

WARREN FINDER, AHSA President 

Hello AHSA Members: 

Spring sale season was tremendous, with quality animals 

from top to bottom. I was able to attend both of the Hampshire 

Regional Sales and the National, plus a few others. The 

sales were strong, but probably varied more than the last couple 

of years. There definitely was a quality offering available 

for all buyers. 

Bring on the State Fairs, they’ll be in full swing by the time 

you read this and I hope the shows are as good as they usually 

are. The Eastern Regional Hampshire Show is at the Big E 

this year on September 13th. Kent Spilde will be judging the 

Hampshires. There will be an open and junior exhibitor show. 

Check it out at www.thebige.com. 

The Western Regional is at the Kansas State Fair in 

Hutchinson, Kansas. Hampshires show on September 10th 

with Steve Reid judging. The Frank Gilmore family has added 

premium money for the show. The complete schedule isn’t finalized 

yet, but there is rumor of a barbeque at the Finder 

Ranch the night before the show. I’ll let the wife know you’re 

coming! Several things are still in the planning stages. We plan 

on have a good time and hope to get a good turn out. You 

can watch for details and the complete schedule at 

www.kansasstatefair.com. 

Junior exhibitors who are showing futurity ewe lambs, 

make sure you get your point record froms turned in. Don’t 

miss out on some of the prize money we set aside for the futurity 

program! 

I’ve had several calls this spring concerning promoting 

Hampshire more with production records. The wether sheep 

or club lamb market is red hot for the Hampshires. The frame 

type sheep are as much in demand as any breed. We certainly 

want to keep both of these markets going, but we also have to 

promote the Hampshires to the commercial producer with 

facts and figures to help keep them in business. 

Many breeders use growth rate and feed efficiency in their 

selection process now and have been for years. Corn at $7.00 

a bushel and alfalfa over $200.00 a ton make these traits even 

more important for the commercial feeder. 

A good record keeping system on the farm is the starting 

point for knowing how fast and efficient your lambs are gaining. 

Another good program to consider is the various ram test 

stations around the country. There are a number of them open 

to anyone that wants to participate. We plan on putting this information 

together and having it in one of the next issues. 

AMPSHIRE 

HEARTBEAT 

Enough for now, I have to get back out to the barn. We 

started hauling manure this morning and I’ve been writing this 

in between loads. The wife should have the spreader full by 

now. She sure likes that new fork she got for her birthday. 

Good Luck at the Fairs!

KANSAS STATE FAIRTOHOST 

WESTERN REGIONAL HAMPSHIRE SHOW 

The Kansas State Fair will host the 2008 Western Regional Hampshire 

Show and the National Natural Colored Wool Growers Association 

(NCWGA) show on September 8, 9 and 10. 

The Hampshire show will be Wednesday morning September 10, 

2008, thirty minutes after the Suffolk show is completed. 

The NCWGA show starts at 8:00 am Wednesday September 10, 

2008. The complete judging schedule is listed below. The premium list 

will be available online in early April at www.kansasstatefair.com. 

Open sheep must check in between 8:00 am and 8:00 pm Monday 

September 8, 2008 and will be released following the exhibitors meeting 

4:30 pm September 10, 2008. 

Alex McClure, sheep superintendent, believes these two national 

events should complement each other and bring new exhibitors to the 

fair. There are classes for the major “down” breeds plus an All Other 

Breeds Class. 

Steve Reid, Houstonia, MO will judge the Hamps and Suffolks. 

Henry Shultz, Centralia, MO will judge Shropshires, Southdowns, 

Dorsets, Montadales, the NCWGA, and All Other Breeds. 

The Hampshire show is dedicated to the Frank Gillmore family: 

Phyllis Davison, Wichita, KS and Tom Gillmore, Lincoln, NE. Frank’s 

grandchildren are adding four hundred ninety-five dollars in premium 

money to the show. 

Frank Gillmore was a life-time sheepman, shearer, showman, and 

friend of 4-H. He and his wife Viola, had four children: Ralph, Richard, 

Phyllis, and Tom. 

AMPSHIRE 

HEARTBEAT 

Frank showed Hampshires for more than fifty consecutive years at 

the Kansas State Fair. He also showed and judged at many other state 

and county fairs. 

Ralph was not as active in the purebred sheep industry as the rest 

of the family, but was a big supporter of Phyllis and her sons. He attended 

a lot of ball games and sheep shows and always enjoyed visiting 

with the other sheep people. 

Richard was a fixture at many of the Midwest and western shows, 

you expected to find him in the same location from year to year, from the 

early 60’s until his untimely death in a one-vehicle accident in 1998. 

When you were showing you looked for Richard to be close to the 

top in any class. He judged state and county fairs from the Midwest to 

California and Oregon. He judged many times at Louisville. 

As a shearer, he had good tallies, and stayed until the job was done, 

but his pride was doing a smooth job with minimal nicks on the sheep. 

Phyllis has been active fitting and showing all of her life. She spent 

many years fitting and showing them for Frank, and now has the Gillmore-Davison 

Hampshires and the LaRosh-Davison Dorsets. Her husband 

John, farms in the Valley Center, KS area. 

Frank and Vi’s youngest son Tom has earned fame as a fitter, showman, 

judge and shearer. He helped Frank and Phyllis with their sheep for 

many years and is a part of the various events, mostly as a judge. 

This will be the second year in the fair’s new sheep, goat and swine 

building. The building has over 700 pens, new sheep and goat wash racks, 

lots of light and abundant electrical outlets. The building includes four 

offices and restrooms with showers. Camping is available on the grounds. 

Entry fees are $7.00 per 5x5 foot pen. Parking passes and discounted

ASI SUBMITS NOMINATINS 

FOR THE AMERICAN LAMB BOARD 

(July 1, 2008) In a letter to Secretary of Agriculture Ed Schafer, 

the American Sheep Industry Association (ASI) provided a slate of nominees 

for consideration for appointment as producer-directors of the 

American Lamb Board (ALB). 

David Trotter (Ind.) and Fred Pugh (N.C.) were put forward for the 

producer category representing 100 head of lambs or less. In the more 

than 500 head of lambs category for producers, Leo Tammi (Va.), David 

McEwen (Mont.) and Wesley Cude (Texas) were submitted as nominees 

for the board. 

“I believe you will find the slate provides a full opportunity to appoint 

experienced and dedicated producers who have served their industry 

at the local, state and national levels and who meet the 

requirements of the order regarding size of operation,” states Burdell 

Johnson, ASI president, in his letter to the secretary. 

Trotter and his wife raise approximately 25 Polled Dorsets and grow 

150 acres of alfalfa/alfalfa-grass hay on their farm in Indiana. He has

served as president of the Indiana Sheep Association and represented six 

eastern states on the ASI executive board. Trotter is being nominated to 

serve a second term on the board. 

For the last 20 years, Pugh has fed and sold lambs to the retail trade 

in North Carolina. He currently runs 40 head, but prior to 2002, he fed 

1,400 head a year and sold them to a five-store chain. He has been active 

in various sheep industry related associations. 

Tammi and his wife have raised sheep in the Shenandoah Valley of 

Virginia since 1980, but he has been active in the sheep industry most of 

his life. He has served on the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service’s 

Voluntary Scrapie Certification Program oversight committee since 

1990. 

McEwen’s more than 20 years of experience encompasses wool 

production, lamb feeding and replacement ewe production. He owns 

650 stock ewes as well as 18 registered rams. He serves on many state and 

county boards. 

In west Texas, Cude runs approximately 1,500 head of sheep on 

the range. He has been in the sheep business for 30 years and is president 

of the American Dorper Sheep Breeders Association as well as 

other local boards. 

“These individuals are very capable of making decisions in cooperation 

with the feeding and packing sectors represented on this diverse, 

industry-wide board,” concludes Johnson.

MID-YEAR SHEEP AND GOAT REPORT RELEASED 

(July 25, 2008) The Sheep and Goat mid-year inventory report was 

released today by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Agricultural 

Statistics Service (NASS) which indicated that the number of 

sheep and lambs as of July 1, 2008, totaled 7.35 million head, down 3 

percent from July 1, 2007. 

"It is not a surprise to the industry that sheep and lamb inventories 

are slightly lower for this period," stated Burdell Johnson, American 

Sheep Industry Association president. "May is the peak of range lambing 

and this year it coincided with heavy snow and rain from Colorado 

and Utah through the northern plains. Cold temperatures slowed grass 

growth in many areas, and in New Mexico and Texas, poor lambing percentages 

have been reported from several sources." 

The breeding herd consists of 3.62 million ewes one year old and 

older, 180,000 rams one year old and older and 620,000 replacement 

lambs (including newborn lambs). Market lamb inventory at 2.86 million 

head was comprised of 1.67 million lambs lighter than 65 pounds, 

595,000 lambs 65 pounds to 84 pounds, 340,000 lambs 85 pounds to 

105 pounds and 250,000 lambs heavier than 105 pounds. Market sheep 

inventory was 75,000 head. 

It is projected that the 2008 lamb crop in the United States will total 

3.97 million head, down 2 percent from the 2007 lamb crop of 4.05 million 

head. Lambs born during January through June 2008 totaled 3.48 

million head or 88 percent of the yearly total. An additional 490,000 head 

are expected to be born during the period July through December 2008.

THE HAMPSHIRE 

DOWN SHEEP 

BREEDERS’ASSOC 

http://www.hampshiredownsociety.org.uk/ 

Buckinghamshire, UK 

REGISTRATION HISTORY OF THE BREED 

Hampshire Down flocks were established more 

than 150 years ago. The breed originated by crossing 

the Wiltshire Horn and the Berkshire Knot 

with the Southdown. These flocks became very 

important in maintaining fertility on the thin soils 

of Wiltshire, Hampshire and Berkshire and were 

numerous across the whole of the South of England. 

There were massive sales at Wilton, Overton, 

Weyhill and other fairs with as many as 

20,000 at each one.

black, with wool over the poll and forehead. Wool 

is white with an average staple length. Body deep 

and symmetrical with ribs well sprung, broad, 

straight back, flat loins, wide rump and deep heavily 

muscled hind legs and breast. Legs being 

strongly jointed and powerful are set well apart. 

MAIN PURPOSE OF THE BREED 

The breed has been developed to provide terminal 

sires for commercial flocks. Hampshire Down sired 

lambs are early maturing quality butchers’ lambs. 

Many pedigree flocks are Signet recorded and 

scanned to encourage the breeding of lean fastgrowing 

sheep. This gives the commercial flockmaster 

the opportunity to use high growth-rate, 

lean producing rams.

GENERAL INFORMATION 

Hampshire Downs lamb naturally in December 

with a lambing percentage of around 150-180%. 

The lambs are very robust and hardy being able 

to withstand most climatic conditions from a very 

early age. They are extensively kept both on pastures 

and uplands and will finish on grass quickly 

with no concentrates. From birth a Hampshire 

Down crossbred lamb will reach 18 kg deadweight 

in under three months. 

The carcass is well fleshed with one of the highest 

eye muscle scores of any breed. Usually grading 

extremely well, the modern

Thank you to Phil & Lisa Webster (Northstar Farms) of Maine, 

Warren Finder of Kansas, and Larry Hand of Missouri 

for their purchases from our flock this summer! 

Thank you all the other buyers, bidders, and people 

who stopped by the farm to purchase or to just 

check out our breeding program! We appreciate the interest 

people have had in purchasing from our flock, and hope to 

continue producing great quality hampshires! 

Thank you to Roger Nichols of Iowa for allowing us to 

purchase another exceptional stud buck from him. 

We look forward to seeing impressive lambs from this ram! 

We lost one of the most influencial stud 

bucks throughout the last several years. On Memorial Day 

weekend, Deakin 01-776 NNP died. Many of you know him simply 

as the “Deakin Ram”, he’s been used in flocks such as 

Gordeneer, Wheaton, Kirlin and our own. We are sad to 

announce this loss, as his effect on the hampshire breed was 

so great! He sired many lambs that have made their way all 

over the country and into numerous different flocks. 

Several of his sons, including “Taylor Made” at Krackows and 

“Big Ron” at Northstar Farms, are now making an impact of their 

own within the breed. We did plan ahead and collected over 

300 units of semen from him, so his genetics will still be 

evident in our flock! As Jeff Gordeneer said, “You won’t 

appreciate the Old Deakin Ram until you start lambing his 

daughters.” This statement has been proven true in our flock 

none the less. We hated to lose this exceptional stud, 

but after his seven years of breeding, we’re looking forward 

to the challenge of raising a new buck to match his 

quality and excellence!

Hampshire has been selected to pass on its 

characteristics plus leanness to its progeny whilst 

retaining the excellent succulence and flavour for 

which the breed is renowned. 

The ewes last well and regularly lamb for up to 10 

or 12 years. Hampshire Downs will take the ram 

at any time of the year, therefore three crops of 

lambs can be obtained in two years. One of the 

most important characteristics is 

outstanding food conversion which enables it to 

survive well in marginal grass conditions. 

Hampshire Down wool is white, average staple 

length 9cm, dense and fine texture, being graded 

to 56-60’s (Bradford count). Rams clip about 

6.75kg, yearling ewes 4.5kg and older ewes 2.7kg 

of wool. The principal use is for fine felts and 

blending with other wools owing to its good wearing 

quality. 

Hampshire Downs are regularly exported to Europe 

where numerous flocks exist. In particular 

Herrig Family 

Hampshires 

Thanks to Our National Sale Buyers! 

many flocks are to be found in Netherlands, Belgium 

and France. The breed is particularly valued 

there because of the high quality quick maturing 

lambs and the ability to survive both in extremes 

of cold as found in the Massif Central in France 

and of heat as experienced by a continental summer, 

without shelter. World-wide, Hampshires are 

to be found in over 40 countries. All sheep are inspected 

by the Association’s official inspectors before 

shipment for export.

BREED DEVELOPMENT 

The launch of a Breed Improvement Scheme, in 

partnership with Signet, together with continuing 

central National and Regional Ram Lamb Performance 

Tests (recorded by Signet, DANI and 

Irish Department of Agriculture) helps keep the 

breed to the forefront in satisfying the demands 

of both the discerning consumer and supermarket 

buyer. The winner of the 1999 Test achieved 

a growth rate of 518 grams per day with a loin 

muscle depth of 46.4mm (at that time, the highest 

ever recorded measurement of any breed in the 

UK or Ireland) and 67.4kg liveweight at just 125 

days of age. The Hampshire Down Sheep Breeders’ 

Association’s newly commissioned computerised 

Flock Book simplifies the recording and 

tracking of leading blood lines within the breed 

and complements the BLUP and Performance 

recording schemes in general breed development. 

A recent importation of Hampshire embryos from 

the leading flock in New Zealand has also widened 

the gene pool available to breeders.
