History of Bailey Family Hampshires
Our family began with purebred Hampshires' through our daughter in her interest in raising and showing Hampshires' for her 4-H projects. We began in 1997 with the purchase of 3 brood ewes and 1 sire ram. Since the beginning, our flock has grown to 5 rams and averages around 40 ewes per season.
Our Hampshires run strong in the following blood lines:
Our family has been in the business of raising wether style sheep since 1984. The purebred Hampshires are primarily raised on the same farm that Terry was born and raised on, which his mother still tends to and lives on. Our wether style flock is raised on our home farm, just down the road, where Terry, Jonna and Rochelle currently live.
Our daughter shows her purebred Hampshires and her wether sheep at the county fair and she shows her Hampshires at the Iowa State Fair in both the 4-H division and the open class shows. We often join her in the show ring at the Open Class in our state fair. |
