Hello!
Thank You for taking the time to visit our website. We wanted to share with you a little of our story and why we pour our lives into raising sheep and why we love this crazy lifestyle!
Brett and I both grew up on family farms raising sheep and loving agriculture. It is the lifestyle we know and love. We both completed 10 years of 4-H. Brett finished Sheep, Swine, Goats & Rabbits and I completed Sheep, Boer Goats, Swine, Beef and Horse & Pony.
A little summary of how my flock started: growing up we were raising a Hampshire/Suffolk Commercial Club lamb flock and I wanted something different and a breed of my own. My parents and I selected Polled Dorset’s.
In 1999 we purchased my first Dorset ewe from Tom Slack. The original Dorset ewe led to the beginning of my future as a breeder. My parents and I incorporated ewes and rams from various breeders and overtime my flock consisted of Martin and Slack genetics. By 2013, I grew my flock to include 75 Dorset ewes and 25 Commercial Club Lamb ewes.
On October 4, 2014, Brett Slack and I were married. We then relocated my ewes to North Manchester, IN so Brett and I could begin our lives together and we made the transition from Verhaeghe Dorsets to Obsession Show Stock.
In the spring of 2016 we found, yet again, our lives would change considerably and we welcomed our daughter, Breelyn Rose into our lives on December 13, 2016 (right during lambing season!) our daughter is the light of our lives and loves the sheep as much as we do!
Since the addition of Breelyn to our lives we decided we needed to add another breed to our flock. Southdown’s seemed like a good fit. We are excited for this new adventure as a family.
We love helping the younger generation and seeing young kids learn and develop the passion for 4-H, showing livestock and raising sheep. We are here to help our customers and look forward to working with you in the future. Give us a call for any of your sheep needs!
Brett, Kaitlyn, Breelyn & Kasenn Slack
