I'm Barbie Casey, the face behind Small Ruminant Consulting.
Hi!
I work with sheep and goat farms of all types throughout the United States to help them combine management and nutrition in order to maximize their productivity.
A Bit About Me
I grew up on a small farm in Southwest Ohio where I fell in love with agriculture at a young age. That love grew into me raising sheep with my family for the past 31 years. I received a B.S. in Animal Science from Wilmington College and a M.S. in Ruminant Nutrition from Michigan State University. I live on my family farm where we raise and show Southdown sheep and run a freezer meat business. I love all things fall and when not working, you can find me hanging out with family at sheep events or giving wagon and carriage rides with my family's draft horses.
I have been able to combine my passion, education and 12 years of animal nutrition experience to consult as a Small Ruminant Nutritionist. I work with sheep and goat farms of all types throughout the United States to help them combine management and nutrition in order to maximize their productivity. I focus on applying advanced nutrition concepts to help the most productive farms excel to meet their goals for production and reproduction. My passion is helping to troubleshoot issues and watching each farm reach their full potential.
