We caught up with the breeder of the Grand Champion Wether Dam at the 2025 Arizona National. We invite you to read our candid interview with Hobbs Show Lambs below and please continue to check back often for our next edition of “Breeder Spotlight.”
What’s the pedigree of your champion?
Tres Amigos x “Quinn” Donor (Saban x Crow)
What’s one milestone moment that put your program on the map?
Moving to Kansas was a big milestone for Hobbs Show Lambs, that allowed us to expand and become a more progressive flock.
Where do you hope to see your program 5–10 years from now?
I hope we are still doing the same as we are today – maintaining a group of ewes with the foundation of our genetics and raising the sheep we like and are proud of every day! Lastly, I hope we are continuing to give back and be involved in as much youth livestock events as we can be.
What advice would you give a younger breeder starting out?
Find a mentor that will invest time into you and don’t chase trends especially when you might only have a handful of ewes.
What’s your favorite show to attend and why?
The Show Reno.
If you weren’t raising livestock, what would you be doing instead?
Traveling more seeing different parts of the US or the world!
What’s the soundtrack in your barn – quiet, radio, or playlists?
More of a podcast guy…..ask me for my recommendations
If you could leave tomorrow and take a dream vacation anywhere, where would it be?
Definitely going to Australia to visit Dr. Dave and Dr. Michylla!
