 The High Bridge flock is named after one of the most powerful and majestic railroad trestle engineering designs on the eastern coast of the United States. Located in Wilmore, KY and originally started by the Southern Railway, the High Bridge was the longest and tallest bridge structure over a navigable stream in the world for many years. The flock as well as the infamous rail road bridge are both centered in the heart of the Kentucky Bluegrass.
High Bridge Hampshires is a joint effort that started in 2008 by J.R. and Josh. In 2010 Ali came on board as a business partner when she developed the same enthusiasm for the purebred industry. In line with the High Bridge and its importance to the Southern railway routes, we have decided that we want to leave our mark on the purebred Hampshire registry. As a result we have started putting together the pieces to embark on a pathway that one day, we hope will be recognized as one of the time tested flocks of the Hampshire industry.
Much like the bridge itself, we have emphasized the need for trustworthy, stout and solid individuals within our flock. We want our sires to be at the fore front of the breed registry and stand as trendsetters, like the sleek, yet stout, heavy framed, ruggedly designed passenger steam engines of the past. Stud rams have to heavily influence our flock, but more importantly we want to depend on ewe families. Our ewes are wide based females, whom are attractive in their lines. They must also carry breed integrity, maternal abilities and three dimensional capacity. These same ewes are expected to have the elegance you would come to know from proven Hampshire genetics such as their Riveria, and Gordeneer ancestry. Moreover, you can expect to find our lambs excelling in growth, carcass traits and survivability. We want our sheep to work in the show ring, on the ranch, or any purebred flock that they are integrated into.
We encourage evaluations of the frame sheep flock and look forward to meeting other Hampshire enthusiasts as we continue striving to lay the track towards producing sheep that we are proud of. |
