Polo
QRNS
(Hawk x Cheyenne)

Polo has a lot to offer to our wether ewe flock and also as a purebred sire. Purchased from Greiner Club Lambs in 2008, he is Cabaniss bred. Polo is extremely long patterned, handles with a lot of muscle and proportion of hindsaddle and is well balanced. He will add more natural thickness to our Hampshire ewes and we are very excited about his potential stud ram prospects.

Reference Sires

HO 5118-05
RR
(HO 8346-98 x HO 1200-01)

Purchased from Dean and Connie Houghton of MO in 2005. Moderate framed, heavy muscled and well balanced. He is now deceased, but his legacy continues in the lambs he sired. A lot of his sons were sold for stud rams and a lot of his daughters make up our ewe base
