ABOUT HILL SHOW LAMBS
OUR
STORY
A huge thank you to everyone who's visiting our website!
Hill Show Lambs is a family-owned and operated business located in Hope, Kansas. Our flock began to build in 2016, with the ewe lambs eldest daughter Tyler Hill bought for her show string. In the years following, ewe lambs bought and shown by daughters Brianna and Alice Hill expanded our flock numbers.
For the first few years, the herd primarily consisted of Suffolk's Registered Dorset's, Dorset Advantages, and a select few Black Faces. In 2020, we received the opportunity to purchase the entirety of the Harris Show Lambs (operated by Kevin Harris) ewe base, along with the sire Chiquita. These ewes were a very sound, structurally correct, and well-muscled group of black-faced ewes. The combination of these ewes with our own pushed our herd from 40 to over 120!
However, in 2021, the herd was forced to change when a storm of bad luck hit. Bad feed plus a barn fire wiped out half of our ewes and nearly all of our sires. From the Fall of 2021 through 2022, we have worked hard to rebuild our herd. With the help of Haws Club Lambs and the Buck Family, we purchased 34 new ewes, with our focus primarily on rebuilding our black-face base. Alongside these purchases, we bought a handful of high-quality ewe lambs ranging from Registered Dorset's, Registered Suffolk's, and a select few black-face ewe lambs.
Our plans for the future include Al'ing to outstanding sires and flushing our top ewes! Our goal is to provide high-quality and competitive sheep that will not just hit the show arena, but will be able to go back into any operation and produce elite offspring of their own!
