Seelow Sheep Farm

Seelow Sheep Farm We raise registered Rambouillet and Lincoln Sheep in central Iowa. We sell raw wool, roving, as well When I became old enough to show.

The farm started out in central Illinois (Lovington) and my family has raised sheep for 3 generations now. Growing up on a family farm has given me an appreciation for hard work. We started out with Corriedales and my older sister raised and showed them along side of my Father Tony Seelow and Cousin Marty Moran. We had a very competitive Corriedale flock when most of the premier breeders came righ

t from Illinois. As my older brother became interested in sheep we bought Rambouillets to raise and show. Both breeds are known for being dual purpose for meat and wool. We bought out a flock of Southdowns. Long story short we showed those 3 breeds across central Illinois at the county fairs, state fairs, and national shows. Along the way interests and goals changed and we ended up primarily with rambouillets for their adaptability, mothering ability, and hardiness. As I became more active with the FFA I had over 100 ewes as my SAE project and went on to receive my American FFA Degree and National Sheep Proficiency finalist. Going into college was difficult time for many reasons and being strapped for cash trying to go to school so we went from 100 head down to 10 of my best ewes. Luckily along the way I had good family and friends help take care of them and allow a place for them to stay while I was pursuing my Ag degrees at Illinois State University. Through these experiences, I have had the opportunity to learn about sheep production from many great people, mostly through trial and error. I learned you can win at one show and get beat at the other or have a sheep that was undefeated all summer and get beat at the last fair of the year which was a county fair. Also, you can do everything right and do your best but something will always fall in your way. Such things are a fact of life. All of these things are character building experiences and hope someday I can pass that on to my kids to learn as well.
