Hammer's Lady 116 is a daughter of TTP Golden Hammer and a farm favorite doe. From the day she was born Lady has been a standout...there are those that catch your eye right away because they have that "something" that makes them special and Lady is certainly that. Lady has the length and depth that Golden Hammer always produces but she also has the muscling, spring of rib and overall thickness that you want but don't always see. Lady and GH daughters like her are always on our own keep list but this year we are letting a few go. For those who don't know we cancelled nearly all our sale entries last year. We are caring for a parent with advanced alzheimer's and cancer. It's a 24/7 job that has been much harder than expected so we ended up keeping over 50 does last year. Lady is a 2022 model and is bred right now to SSK Blue's Ironman, an own son of Blue's Son. From three years of on-farm data, Ironman produces 90% blue kids that are wide chested, well balanced, and nearly bulletproof. Ironman himself has maintained a deep red FAMACHA 1 since the day we brought him home and his kids generally do the same. He is a hands-off buck who has never been dewormed, trimmed, etc. A CD&T shot and FAMACHA score when we can have been all he needs. We sent two Ironman sons to the Oklahoma Buck test last year. A pack of dogs attacked the herd and several bucks were killed so the test was suspended and we picked our boys up. No data was given but our two Ironman sons came off test looking good and with FAMACHA 1 eye scores. Lady's dam is a top producer, always multiples usually triplets, that wean right along with the twins. She's an easy keeping. moderate size brown doe that really produces! Lady's sire TTP Golden Hammer is special too. We have been stingy with his daughters, retaining most to build our own herd. He is an own son of the record setting Titans Hamer, and has proven himself not only on our farm for 6 breeding seasons but also in the buck tests. In the 2022 Oklahoma Buck Test Golden Hammer had a #1 ADG son as well as a #2 FEC son, resulting in Sterling V Ranch being awarded Top Herdsman for 2022. Lady was born a twin at 7 lbs and weaned a twin at 39 lbs of pure muscle. Her brother brought grade 1 at market. She had a one-year weight of 80 lbs and is currently 125 lbs, bred. She has not been dewormed. Lady has been on pasture her whole life and had not been touched for nearly a year when we pulled her for these pics & video. She has had CD&T and CL vaccines. We vaccinate for CL preventatively. Our herd has tested negative for CAE and Johnes for six years. Lady's sire, Golden Hammer is ALPHA-s1 CASEIN A/B, the genes responsible for producing high milkfat which helps boost weaning weights.
