Burr Oak Farms and Darr Farms are located in east central Illinois just a few miles from the Indiana border. With the University of Illinois to the west and Indiana State University to the east, we are easily accessed from Interstate 74, Interstate 70, and Illinois Highway Route 1.
Steve and Karla began a livestock operation as a brother/sister partnership back in 1979 with the purchase of two Chi-Angus heifers. After many years of extensive cattle breeding and showing, two marriages, and children, they changed the focus of the endeavor from cattle to Boer goats and Shropshire sheep. With Hannah, Noah, and Marlene as the main showmen for the operation, we have traveled around the state and the country promoting livestock and agriculture. We have recently acquired Katahdin and Dorper sheep to add to the Shrophires and Hampshires. We continue to actively search for breeders who share our vision of what a meat animal should be, and we incorporate that vision into both the sheep and goat operations. Feel free to call any of us, Steve and Marlene at 217-465-5596, or Doug, Karla, Hannah, and Noah at 217-427-2496, if we can help you with any aspect of the sheep and goat industry. We will be happy to discuss breeding, showing, fitting, or general care of sheep or goats.
