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.

Oz 200L is a combination of Australian, Canadian and British genetics. He is a thick yearling ram with real good length of loin. He has lots of breed character and stands on a good set of feet and legs. His dam is on our accelerated lambing program and lambed again in September of 2023. She is due to lamb again in May of 2024. This ram is dam has produced one of our best flock sires, a feature daughter (sold to South Dakota) as well as a number of rams sold to commercial flocks. This ram has a lot of potential to usefor either market lambs or quality replacements. Sire is RR.

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.

Sired by a 5/8 British ram, 380L is thick. He has a touch more frame than the other fall ram lambs, but is still not going to be a tall ram. His dam accelerated well and raisd some real nice lambs, with us retaining all of her daughters. Should work well producing market lambs and still give some nice daughters for replacements.

A May yearling sired by 954J off a moderate framed Heeroma ewe, that traces back to some of their older lines. The combination of 954J on the Heeroma ewes, is one that just seems to work every time. Lexy is moderate framed and thick. Definitely not a flashy ewe, but rather a nicely put together, well muscled, maternally made Dorset female. Scrapie genotype is RR.

311L is again sired by 954J, who just keeps siring consistently good lambs. I wish I could just keep expanding and keep all of his daughters. I can't so my loss is your gain. Her dam is our biggest framed ewe but when you cross in 954J, you bring that frame down a little and 311L fits what I think a Dorset should be. Buy with confidence. Scrapie genotype RR

350L is a real nice fall ewe lamb sired by our flock sire 221K, a Tattykeel 80-97 son, who was our pick of that sire group. The dam of 350L is a moderate framed ewe with a tight udder, due to lamb May 2024. 147H is on our accelerated program, lambing every 8 months. We have retained 147H's only other daughter and she is working well for us. If feed wasn't so expensive, we would be keeping this one back. SCrapie genotype is RR.

A daughter of our British sired 241K, a massive ram with loads of muscle and a wonderful disposition. The dam is a young ewe who has just begun the accelerated program. Maternal grand-dam is about as close to my ideal Dorset ewe as I have raised, super long, well muscled in a moderate framed package. This one should be a top notch producer. Scrapie genotype is QR.

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.
