Rockin C Ranch

Rockin C Ranch The preservation of the Florida Cracker Sheep; Selling wool; breeding and showing sheep; Rockin C Ranch was originally founded for the benefit of 3 children.

Austin, Dakota and Trysten. The benefit being they wanted to be part of 4-H and show livestock. We started with cattle and pigs but moved away from them into chickens and rabbits with sheep being added a few years later. As the boys move further into high school things change again. We are now developing our line of Florida Cracker Sheep to help preserve this endangered breed. We are also learning about the wool end of sheep so we will be able to market lambs for meat and show as well as wool.

We have 3 rams at UF for the ram test. They have been there since May. They are doing very well. The ram test measures parasite resistance, daily weight gain, and breedability. In September UF has an online auction for the ones that make it to the end. The test started with 19 lambs. The test is open to all breeds. This year there are more katahdins than any other breeds. My Florida crackers are measuring up pretty good against katahdins. UF holds a small ruminant seminar also in September. There is always good information at the seminar.
