National Rambouillet Show Help! Does anyone know where and when this photo was taken? Del Rio, Texas - 198? In 1955, my grandfather, Joe, gave me a bum lamb.
He told me that she was a good lamb and would make me a good sheep when
she got older. Being 4 years old, I
did not understand how much he loved the sheep and how much he wanted me to have
that same love for them. But the
lamb grew into a great ewe and she was on the farm until her death in 1965. She produced a set of twin lambs every year.
I was hooked on sheep. In
1964, my grandfather gave me three Registered Hampshire ewes and I was in the
registered sheep business. Those
ewes produced well, but we had a hard time keeping them healthy and so in
October 1966, I went with my FFA leader to Utah State University and we
purchased several registered Rambouillet ewes.
In November, I took one of the ewes along with some Hampshire ewes to the
Golden Spike National Livestock Show in Ogden.
A train pulled in and I met Jim Davidson as he brought in a winning set
of Rambouillets. I asked him if he
would sell me a few sheep and he said to bring over a truck.
My father and I made the trip and Jim filled the truck with some great
bred ewes. Since that time the
Boyer Rambouillet flock has evolved into a premier flock. Both ewes and rams have been exported to India, Pakistan,
Ecuador, Mexico, and Canada. Our
sheep are very popular in show & sale rings in the United States.

The National Champion Ram at the 2000 National

to be quite a producer!
