I’ve worked with Clark for the last seven years and he helps to add another dimension to my skills. Particularly, with pedigrees and mating analysis. Great guy, trustworthy!
—Jim Wells – Owner / Breeder

Clark brings integrity and independence to his recommendations. His engineering background causes him to make data based decisions rather than running with the latest market fad. Much of The Elkstone Group’s breeding success has been attributable to Clark.

Clark Shepherd is a superb pedigree analyst.
