woolly endeavor woolly A endeavor Bernard farmer started raising sheep as a high school student in FFA; 20 years later he’s expanded the flock BY kellie gregorich eastern iowa farmer Eastern Iowa Farmer photo / Trevis Mayfield Rob Goedken raises 70 ewes at his rural Bernard farm. While his interest began when he showed sheep for FFA in high school some 25 years ago, he is among producers who use sheep to diversify their operations. Rob Goedken became interested in showing sheep when he joined FFA as a freshman at Cascade High School in 1996. His family’s Bernard-area farm had some extra barn space and grass, so he bought 12 ewes. After he was done showing the animals, the Goedkens decided to keep the sheep because they were so helpful in grazing around the white barns situated along a gravel road in southern Dubuque County. Two decades later, the flock has increased almost six-fold. “I enjoy it. It’s something I’m proud of,” said Goedken, 38, who now raises 70 ewes, which is a large number for the state of Iowa. “Iowa is mostly comprised of smaller farm flocks, around 35 head,” said Ben Drescher, animal science farms director at Iowa State University. Most Iowa producers use sheep as a lower-investment enterprise that allows them to diversify their farm operations, Drescher said. Sheep flocks make a great business for young farmers with ample labor and limited facilities and eifarmer.com spring 2021 | Eastern Iowa Farmer 41
