Tattykeel 80-97
Polled Dorset information
I have raised Polled Dorsets since 1980. I almost got out of the breed completely due to life situations and also not liking where most breeders were taking the breed. Polled Dorsets were noted for being a maternal breed that stil grew well, produced good carcasses and bred out of season. Over the years, the breed was losing much of its maternal qualities due to some questionable genetics having been put ito the breed and due much to selection pressures. When we select for certain things, fortunately and unfortunately there are other traits that tag along. A number of breeders were selecting for the showring and the most important thing was large frames. Unfortunately, most large framed sheep did not carry any more muscle than the smaller framed Dorsets. That chase for extreme frame size has kind of played out but now the next trend has taken hold. Now many breeders are using the latest genetics from Australia and New Zealand. In my opinion, this is hurting the breed as in those countries, Polled Dorsets are now mainly being used as terminal sires, in crossbreeding programs. This is where the issue , for me at least, comes in. Selection pressure has been put on growth and carcass, nothing wrong with that, except in most cases, there has been almost no selection for maternal traits. While these genetics have growth and carcass qualities, in my opinion, they have lost a lot in the maternal aspect, things like mlking ability, early maturity, lambing rate and a major thing, out of season breeding ability. Thus, I have found it difficult to find the genetics I sought, so I infused some good Horned Dorset genetics into my Polled Dorset flock. As well, I went the artificial insemination route for more genetics, but rather than chasing the new genetics, I went back to utilizing older proven genetics. I used British rams, Cornella N3 (807 N3){ first used in 1995, I used in 2002], Bennachie Nmrod ( first used in 2011), and Huish Nugget (first used in 2011). I also used a Canadian ram Brucedale Mate's 217T (born in 1985). The other ram recently used is Australian ram Tattykeel 80-97 ( first Canadian offspring born in 2000, well proven, still being used due to his ability to sire well muscled sons and daughters with excellent breed character, as well his daughters have beautiful udders and milk well). I am using sons off the A.I. sires as well as select purchased rams that trace back to genetics that I know have been selected wth maternal traits in mind. The Polled Dorset flock ( as are all of our flocks) is a work in progress. I am trying to improve my Polled Dorsets by selecting with an emphasis on maternal traits and out of season breeding. The ewes are given the opportunity to lamb every 8 months and are bred to produce their first lambs at 12 months of age.

Not very often you get a chance to buy a 3/4 British ram, but here is a real good one. He weighed 124 lb on June 10th. He has loads of breed character with lots of muscle and capacity. He is structurally sound and offers a different pedigree to Canadian Polled Dorsets. His sire saw only very limitted semen come to Canada and as far as I am aware there are only 6 offspring (4 ewes and 2 rams). I chose to keep the other 22495 son just because I have a lot of 807/N3 in my flock already. This is a ram that has a lot to offer and also a different pedigree. Don't miss your chance to add some new UK genetics to your flock.

Here is very nice ewe lamb sired by the British ram 807/N3. Her dam is a daughter of the maternal Tattykeel ram out of a 1/2 British dam. Lots of AI breeding in her pedigree. I am keeping her twin sister or she wouldn't be available. I almost never sell any AI sired females but decided that I would bring 1 out for the Grasslands. She weighed 106 lb on June 10th. She is a very correct ewe lamb with muscle and a beautiful Dorset head.

Weighing in at 115 lb on June 10th, this ewe lamb was one of my heaviset weight per day of age. Originally planned to keep, I just have too many AI sired replacements to go into the flock to allow her to stay. She took after her dam and is a little larger framed than most of my Dorsets, but she still has that beautiful head. A growthy female with lots to offer. Her sire is probably the best Polled Dorset ram that i have raised.

A little younger ewe lamb off one of my top ewes. The dam 212F has been lambing on our accelerated, every 8 month program, and has produced a couple of sons that I used. At 92 lb on June 10th, she is growing well and has tons of breed character. Expect her to be a real good producer.

My youngest ewe lamb from the Jan/Feb lambing. She has lots of breed character and is very thick. She shows the muscling and structure that seeems to always come through with the 807/N3 progeny and grand progeny. The British influence on the Heeroma females works real well. Her dam has been lambing on our accelerated program and has produced some top lambs.

Perhaps my favorite 241K son. Bred very similar to 380L but a little smaller framed. A real solid ram, packing on the muscle while still having enough stretch to be able to pack on the pounds. His dam has produced well on our accelerated program, raising a top flock sire, a feature ewe sold to South Dakota, a number of rams sold to commercial flocks and a 1/2 brother selling as our feature yearling ram, 200L. Scrapie genotype QR. Weight 163 lbs, scrotal 34 cm. THANK-YOU TO RYAN AND BRITTANY ALBERS FOR PURCHASING THIS RAM!

A twin replacement ewe lamb that only got listed as she is my alternate (only if absolutely required) for the Grasslands. Sired by the somewhat rare pedigree of 22495 and out of one of my favorite ewes, 945J. 945J is linebred to the Bennachie Nimrod ram from the UK. My choice of his sons is off the grand dam 51H. That gives you an idea of what I think of this ewe family. The only reason I even considered her for the Grasslands is that she has a twin sister who weighed 97 pounds, while 426 weighed 100 lb on June 10th. A 3/4 British pedigree with tremendous breed charcter. A ewe lamb that should have an impact in my program.

This is the ram lamb that I decided to keep and use. His sire is 22495 who has only a very few offspring in Canada. The dam is a realy productive ewe sired by Bennachie Nimrod, making 430M 3/4 British. A powerful, solid ram to infuse more UK genetics into my flock. This guy has pretty good length and i expect great things out of him on the 807/N3 (British) and Tattykeel 80-97 (Australian) daughters. He weighed 125 lb on June 10th. One of only 2 sons off 22495, in Canada as far as I am aware. Outcross genetics with all the breed character and structure that i am looking for.

Another ram going back to the Bennachie and Brucedale AI sires, with the added bonus that his maternal grandmother goes back to yet another AI sire, Sandy Lane Trojan. He is very correct, extremely long, and has excellent breed character.
