SHEEP SHOW

Judge: Jacob Reister • Reister Farms • Washougal, Washington

Reister Farms was established in 1957 in McMinnville, Oregon and is now a third generation farm located in Washougal, Washington. Since inception Reister Farms has been passionate about agriculture and that passion has been handed down through the generations; sheep have been our mainstay. Our primary focus for the past 50 years has been to produce top quality breeding stock. However, as the next generation of Reisters have returned to the farm after college, the farm expanded and adopted a new focus – direct marketing top quality, sustainably produced lamb.

Currently we farm 130 acres where we run 300 Corriedale and Columbia brood ewes. We believe in producing a product that not only tastes great, but is environmentally responsible and healthy for our customers to consume. We embrace humane animal husbandry practices and sustainable farming methods.
