Cahoon Farms Hampshire flock, located just outside of Orangeville, IL, was founded in 1986.  “The Boyz from Illinois”, Chad, Chris and Cory Cahoon, with the help of their parents Craig and JoAnn, originally started the flock as a 4-H project.  In the early years Cahoon Farms consisted of two purebred flocks.  They consisted of a flock of Hampshires, as well as a flock of Suffolks.  Cahoon farms had experienced success in both breeds. However, in order to fully concentrate our efforts on the Hampshires, in 1992 the Suffolk flock was dispersed. 

Cahoon Farms currently maintains a flock of thirty-five white pedigreed brood ewes.  The Brood ewe flock is completely Codon tested QR or RR.  Over the years we have used artificial insemination to improve our flock.

We have exhibited at the Illinois, Wisconsin and Iowa state fairs, as well as the NAILE in Louisville, KY.  We have offered sheep for sale at the Ohio Showcase Hampshire Sale, Corn Belt Hampshire Sale, Midwest Stud Ram Sale, Wisconsin Invitational and Illini All Breeds Sale.

Cahoon Farms is currently owned and managed by Chad and Chris Cahoon.  We strive to raise structurally correct sheep that are productive in our flock as well as for others, while still being competitive in the show ring.
