2011 Mid-America Invitational <strong>Whitetail</strong> <strong>Deer</strong> Auction<br />
Bred Doe, 1 1/2 Years Old<br />
Bred Doe, 2 Years Old<br />
In the mid 1980s Dave & Rick Griffith purchased their grandfather’s farm from his estate. With a burning desire to<br />
bring the old farm to life their idea to raise whitetail deer began. They formed Griffith Brothers <strong>Whitetail</strong> Ridge Trophy <strong>Deer</strong> Ranch.<br />
Although the whitetail deer industry was in its infancy Rick and Dave st ill made genetics their main focus. After traveling the<br />
country for a year looking at deer herds they purchased their first breeding stock. The breeder bucks came from northern<br />
Pennsylvania out of a herd started by Bill Dyroff. Bill, a computer science teacher, impressed the Griffith Brothers with great herd<br />
records and a reputation for raising championship sled dogs. Bill’s herd was almost 10 years developed; thus the three original<br />
breed sires were purchased from the Dyroff farm.<br />
The first buck was StudIy, PA Geronimo’s father, a main frame 6x6 purchased for his tine length and typical frame. The<br />
second buck was Chief purchased for his great width and frame. The third buck was Goliath 1 purchased for his tremendous mass.<br />
At the same time Penn State University had produced a huge typical buck known as J-44. J-44 was ahead of his time with an<br />
impressive set of typical antlers scoring just over 200”. That was a very big deer for the 1980s. The herdsman at the time was Bob<br />
Mothersbaugh. Bob has since retired from Penn State and is now a master breeder in the whitetail industry. Dave & Rick were very<br />
impressed with Bob’s record keeping and knowledge of his herd at Penn State; thus several does were purchased from the J-44<br />
line. Some of those does included ROM Goliath’s mother, Marlin’s mother, along with two full J-44 sisters K-l and 150 to name a<br />
few. After a few years of breeding a special buck hit the ground by the name of “Geronimo”. Dave and Rick had no idea how special<br />
this buck they had named Geronimo was going to be. Today Griffith Brothers are one of the proven leaders in the whitetail deer<br />
industry and PA Geronimo is one of the most inheritable and popular breed sires in the country.<br />
