These 44 rams were selected from a pool of 932 elgible rams as Suffolk Prospect Sires. To qualify a ram must be born in either 2005 or 2006,
not be part of the main NSIP sire summary and rate in the top ten individuals for at least one trait.      
                         
Six Krafka sires rate among the breed's most elite prospect sires. We used three prospects with great results!
