Jamie and Dusty Rincker were raised in Stewardson, Illinois on a crop farm and cared for various breeds of sheep throughout their childhood. The Rincker family has been highly successful with Cheviots over the years. Today, Dusty, Claudia, and their two boys, Kingston and Kane, carry-on the family-farm growing field corn and soybeans, Cheviot legacy, and most recently began raising a Romney flock. They also sell Channel seed, Pivot Bio, and operate Rincker’s Leading Edge, specializing in clipper blade sharpening. During the weekdays, Claudia stays busy at the Farm Service Agency (FSA) in Shelbyville, Illinois. 

Jamie is the oldest brother. He and Sarina met in college, grew their careers, and are now raising their two boys, Ellis and Paul, in St. Johns, Michigan. They own and operate Rincker Southdowns and Rincker Ag Solutions with focus on Channel Seed, Concept AgriTek, crop insurance, and offer agronomic data analysis and consulting. As if that’s not enough already, they also sell the full line of Kalmbach feeds and Reproduction Specialty Group’s nutrition line. Jamie and Sarina share a common passion for Southdown sheep and have worked since their college days to build a competitive flock. They have 45 Southdown ewes in Michigan and aim to accommodate show sheep for everyone from the local county exhibitor to the most competitive showman in the Southdown breed.
