Bob Farr's Ranch located in Frontier Co., Nebraska
Sayer Family
Our Farm is located on Andrea’s Family homestead; Bob Farr’s Ranch located in Frontier Co NE. We are now entering the 5th generation of being American Farmers and owning our homestead of almost 5000 acres. For those who don’t know what this represents it equates to our family owning and operating the same farm land since around the early 1900’s. On Andrea’s mothers side we are the 6th generation of being American Farms and we still own the original land that they first walked out from Wisconsin to claim as a tree claim in the late 1800’s.
About Us

DJ’s Creek Farm began in 2009 as a 4-h project for our children. Having lost our oldest son Tyson Avery that June we decided as a family to let Dillon & Amelia branch into the areas of family that interested them the most. Dillon chose goats and Amelia chose pigs and from there our business has grown to a full time job for Andrea while the kids are in school and a part time job for the kids during the summer and on weekends during the school year. This farm is unique in the fact that Dillon is now 20 and Amelia is now 18 but both have grown herds of animals and saved for their own college educations. How many young adults do you know that have been in business for themselves almost 10 years upon graduation of high school or college?

Nubian dairy goats were added to the farm in 2011. Our first 2 were purchased from Goddard Farms in Lecompton KS. Noah Goddard has done his best to teach both Dillon and the family how to raise Nubians and to encourage Dillon to expand his line. So in Aug 2012 Noah let us know that Dr. John and Jane Carver were retiring and we purchased 8 Nubian does. We are proud to state that we still have 3 of these does as our foundation stock. We have since added several different bucks and at this time are working hard to put out a consistent Nubian that shows our style of goat.

Dillon also runs a commercial Boar goat herd of about 34 head with babies about twice a year. We did cross these does with one of our Nubian bucks to create what we call homestead goats. We find they have more milk and there for raise larger litters with more meat on the bone at weaning time. We keep this herd to help diversify our farm and keep an income flow year round. Dillon is studying the John Deere Diesel Technician certified program at Milford NE. He will be obligated to work for Landmark for at least 3 years upon his graduation in 2019 but does have plans to come home to the family farm down the road.

Amelia currently shares a Jersey cow herd with her grandfather. We currently have 7 Jersey’s of which we are expecting 3 to calve in 2019. Her first interest was hogs but when the market fell out she diverted to her second love of dairy cattle. Currently a senior in high school she is planning to pretty much keep the herd small as she is preparing to go off to college in 2019 and become a Physical Therapist. Since this is a 7 year commitment I’m sure a lot will happen with her interest in the farm over the upcoming time frame. However we will be offering Jersey’s for sale in the near future.
