Pine's End Natural Coloreds -
On The Cover
Gracing the front cover of the Banner is a future stud buck and exciting fall ewe lamb in the barn here at Pines End Natural Coloreds. “Flash Flood” PENC 21-71 is a fall ram lamb that is Yesterday Road X PRF 1806 (a Diamond Head daughter bred by Thomas Vandeventer/Purple Ribbon Farms). “Flash Flood” was recently named Champion Ram at the 2022 Minnesota State Fair. “Yesterday Road” (“This Is True” X PENC 19-69) was Champion Ram at the 2018 South Dakota, Minnesota, and Ohio State Fairs and Keystone Livestock Expo, and was Reserve Champion Ram at NAILE.
The fall ewe lamb on the bottom half of the cover is “Lady May” PENC 21-57 (“Caprockin’” PENC 19-65 X Borcher 0239). She is a full sib to this year’s Ohio Sale Champion Ewe which sold to Merlau/Craig. “Caprockin’” is out of two Louisville champions: “Triple H” X “Pretty Woman” (Yesterday Road’s full sister).
We’ve got a couple bred ewes and an exciting fall ewe lamb consigned to the North Star Sale on October 29 in Pipestone, MN – call with any questions on these entries. One is a maternal sib to the popular yearling ewe Alivia Porter is showing this summer. There is online bidding this year so tune in to see the sale!
A huge thank you to all our supporters – your continued success is our goal. It has been an incredible show season for many of you that are campaigning Pines End sheep and we are so grateful for our buyers that do a tremendous job. Thank you to all those behind the scenes that make everything go, particularly in the past year during the move back to South Dakota. Thank you to my parents and Jerrod & Jodee for their help in the transition and Devon Wolkow for making it possible.
Pines End Custom Fitting would like to thank all our help at the shows and sales! Brandon Cloose, Becca Wilts, Dick Reece, the Knutson girls, Riley Donkers, Ron Waldron, Jarrod Neumeister, Jerrod Nohner, Ryder Juntunen, and everyone else who steps in to lend a hand. We could not do it without you! It’s been a great year. We’ll load the truck and trailer shortly and point it south to Louisville with excitement for the green shavings. Thank you to our custom fitting customers for trusting us and believing in us.
I’m unable to thank you all enough for believing in Pines End Natural Coloreds & Custom Fitting and making this dream a reality. Your belief and trust in our program is appreciated more than you know. More than that, when it’s all said and done, the friendships are what it’s all about and I’m incredibly grateful for you all.
The new South Dakota headquarters would love some visitors! You’re always welcome on the prairie.
God Bless,
Dylan Nohner
