"American Legacy" Pope Dorsets 312 PD 94 x "Miss Congeniality" Spilde 8737 Maternal Grand Sire: PRD "Samson" 2017 Results National Reserve Senior Champion Ram - NAILE Champion Ram - Indiana State Fair 1st Yearling Ram - Ohio State Fair 2016 Results Reserve Champion Ram - Ohio State Fair Reserve Champion Ram - Indiana State Fair 3rd Fall Ram Lamb - NAILE "American Legacy" is a genetic full brother to "Miss America" Pope Dorsets 250, the Reserve Senior Champion Ewe at the the 2016 National Dorset Show at NAILE and his dam "Miss Congeniality" was the 2013 Reserve National Champion Ewe and a full sib to "Icon", the 2014 Reserve National Champion Ram. We jumped at the opportunity to purchase an interest that got us access to "American Legacy" when it was presented to us in the summer of 2021. We loved the influence he has made in the Pope Dorsets flock and we are excited for a similar influence here at Ample Amity Farms in 2022! |
Pope Dorsets 610
"American Legacy" PD 312 x DeVries 27-17 Maternal Grand Sire: HPD "American Dream" We made a trip to Michael's place ahead of the 2021 Ohio Dorset Sale and discovered 610. Michael wouldn't cut him loose until he had an opportunity to use him for falls but we struck a deal that allowed us to get him home and to use before fall breeding was over. We're excited about this rams future! |
Ample Amity Farm 1282
PD 283 x PD 541 Maternal Grand Sire: Spilde "Icon" We purchased the 541 ewe privately off Michael in the spring of 2021 and we worked getting to breed her to 283 in as part of the deal. PD 283 is the ram that spent time at Reynolds Stock Farm in OR. where he sired a Supreme Champion Ram at NAILE! PD 283 is an extremly well bred ram, being PD 94 x PD 131 who is a maternal sister to "Indiana Jones". |
Pope Dorsets 683
"American Legacy" PD 312 x PD 268 Maternal Grand Sire: Spilde "Icon" We purchased this ram as another insurance policy on his old man early in 2022. He was a late fall bottle baby at Michael's place that had an extremely good pedigree that caried a sound track record of success for Michael. Michael had used a similiar bred maternal brother to this ram the year before with good success. The PD 268 ewe was "Icon" x RF 5212, which made 268 a maternal sister to "Indiana Jones". |

Pope Dorsets 565
"American Anthem" PD 430 x PD 465 Maternal Grand Sire: BKS "Noble Obsession" We purchased this ram privately off of Michael in the spring of 2020 after he canceled his online sale due to concerns about covid & a few surguries his mom was having at the time. We felt he was a cool profiling ram with a huge hip and that he is tremendously sound footed! |
Pope Dorsets 436
"Mr. Sparky" PD 287 x "Miss Congeniality" Spilde 8737 Maternal Grand Sire: PRD "Samson" We heard a rumor in the early part of 2018 that "Miss Congeniality" had made another stud buck prospect (after creating "American Legacy" 2 years prior) and decided to make a trip over the state line to check him out. It took a little poking and proding and repeat trip to Indiana, but we eventually struck a deal for half 1/2 interest in 436. |
Pope Dorsets 318
PD 259 x RF 5780 When we visited Michael's place in the spring of 2016 we found a pair of buck lambs that really impressed us and we brought one of them home to Ohio. PD 259 was a buck that Michael had used as a lamb before selling to Ashley McFarland in NY. 259 was an "Icon" son out of the infamous "Big Girl" RF 5028 ewe that Michael had great success with. RF 5780 was Michael's pick of the yearling ewes at the Riverwood dispersal sale. |
