Poe Hampshire Farm was established in 1945. Stanley Sr. started 4-H with two registered Hampshire ewes. Stanley Sr. continued to show Hampshires through 4-H and then added Columbias in 1960 as a second breed. Stan’s sons continued the tradition by showing the Hampshire and Columbia sheep through their 4-H careers with much success. Stanley II, the oldest son, established the Triple Crown Lamb Sale in 1990 and continues selling top show lamb prospects in the sale each year. The Columbias were dispersed in 1996. We currently maintain 300 registered Hampshire ewes as well as 55 head of Hampshire/Suffolk crossbred ewes with a strong emphasis on frame, muscling, and structural correctness. We attempt to produce the most complete sheep possible by using current technology, such as blood testing for Spider and Scrapie genes, AI and strict culling to eliminate undesirable traits.
