Kevin and Sara Kuykendall have been custom fitting sheep together since 1984. They have fitted and shown thirteen
Supreme Champions at Louisville, in addition to countless National Champions. Over the years, they have fitted and shown
for many of the nation’s outstanding flocks. They now live with their daughter, Katherine, on an 80-acre farm in southwest
Wisconsin when they are not on the road showing.

The Kuykendalls have experienced much success since they first bought the Wild Apple Montadale flock in January of 1996. In their first year of raising Montadales, they raised the 1996 Supreme Champion Ewe at Louisville, Kuykendall 4, “Daisy”. They also raised the 1999 Supreme Champion Ewe at Louisville, Kuykendall 43, and the 2008 Supreme Champion, Kuykendall 609, "Hoppy".

Since their first year of exhibiting Montadales in 1996, the Kuykendall family has exhibited seven Montadale National Champions at Louisville and five Reserve National Champions. They have also had several National Sale Champions and have been named the
National Sale Best Consignor numerous times.

In addition to raising Montadales, the Kuykendalls raise Border Cheviots and Natural Coloreds. The Cheviots were started from a set of ewes given to Katherine from her grandfather, Henry Kuykendall, who has had Cheviots since the 1950's. The Natural Colored flock started in 2005 when Katherine purchased a ewe from Steve and Stacy Taylor, and has since grown to include 20 brood ewes.
