Welcome to JK Herd It All, LLC
Hi everyone! We are Jess & Ken at JK Herd It All, and we thought we’d share a little info about ourselves. Our mission is to help preserve and promote rare heritage breeds, along with a couple modern designer ones we couldn’t resist.
After years of moving from place to place in the Navy, Ken met Jess in Illinois and whisked her away to start a new life in NE Wisconsin. He grew up training horses in East Texas, and she was born & raised in the Chicago suburbs with a zillion traditional & exotic house pets; both always dreaming of having acreage on which to farm and raise livestock.
We both hold full time jobs on top of managing the farm, so please be patient if you try to contact us and don’t get a response right away! Ken is a senior nuclear operations instructor and Jess is a senior in software engineering.
Every farm has different goals in mind as they select and improve their offerings. Ours are, more or less in order:
1. Friendly personality
2. Ability to thrive on our land
3. Adherence to breed standards
4. Quality of production
5. Quantity of production
We sourced our stock from the very best lines that we could find, including top Master Exhibitors throughout the US. Feel free to check out our website, follow along on Facebook or Instagram, or send us a message if you're interested in learning more! For our goats, we annually test clean for CAE, CL, and Johne’s. For our birds, we are members of the National Poultry Improvement Plan, certified Salmonella Pullorum-Typhoid and HPAI Clean, and cleared to ship to almost every state. We’re happy to work with transporters, too!
