CROUCH DORSETS
Our Story....
Growing up in Central Illinois, we knew the value of being raised to appreciate hard work, dedication, and drive. Instilled with those values, we strive to ensure that our own kids' lives are filled with love, learning, and sheep.
As our kids have grown up, we have valued the friendships gained during our project. Those are the real assets we have been fortunate enough to enjoy.
​
Jeremy is currently managing farms around Illinois.
Cassie is teaching Ag at Maroa Forsyth HS.
Taylor, Morgan, and Delaney are all active in 4-H, FFA, Basketball, Volleyball, Softball all while managing and showing the Crouch Flock and expanding to Swine showing.
Raising kids means helping them to find a passion that requires drive and determination. Building a program around our kids gives us a higher purpose.
