Mint Gold Ranch is located in Brown County, Wisconsin between De Pere and Denmark. We specialize in raising registered Suffolks with large loineyes, big hind quarters, callipyge-free with excellent maternal traits. We believe our sheep need to do more than just look good. Our selection of sires and replacement ewe lambs is based on scanning data as well as their dam's production traits. We have been scanning all of our lambs since 1999. This gives us a good background to develop our ewe base and pick the top sires to continue our breeding program.
We have ram and ewe lambs available each year for breeding stock, and also have a limited number of club lambs available in the spring.
We also have a small flock of registered Dorsets bred to a ram we're really excited about. See the 2008 Sires page for more information.
In addition, we have a commercial ewe flock for spring lambing. Dorset - White Dorper crosses are the majority of our commercial flock. We continue to see improvements in foraging ability and ease of production.
Our flock is enrolled in the Voluntary Scrapie Program. Please note that our status date recently changed from 17-Jun-03 to 05-Apr-04. This is due to the fact that we have chosen to work together with a neighboring shepherd who has a substantial amount of pasture land available. This will only affect animals purchased after June 2006.
