During the 30 years Rebecca has worked with sheep, she's racked up many honors. Her time in 4-H and FFA prepared her for future competitions and her current job of breeding and caring for animals, as well as teaching young people those skills. Rebecca's success spans a vast region. From state to national competitions, she has earned many different awards. She's won state fair championships in 7 different states and many National Breed Champions. Rebecca was also the groomer and handler for 2 National Supreme Champions at the North American International Livestock Expo. Her hard work and accomplishments are a perfect example of what you can achieve when you dedicate your life to your passion--whatever that might be. #womenwhofarm #yesshecan #sheepfarmer

Rebecca runs workshops in several states to coach youth on their sheep projects. In these clinics, she covers basic maintenance, grooming techniques, feeding, breeding and showmanship. She’ll often work on individual levels to further their personal skills as they navigate farming at a young age. Rebecca is passionate about helping beginners, with no prior experience, get to state and national competitions. “I like to help families who think that they can’t afford to have champion quality sheep by creating a plan so that they can find a way.” -Rebecca Krinsky of Slack Farms If you purchase any lambs from Slack Farm, Rebecca offers a free clinic to ensure every customer has the information and skills they need to successfully raise sheep. #sheepfarmer #startthemyoung #womenwhofarm #familieswhofarm

At just 7 years old, Rebecca began working with the Suffolk breed. Over the years her herd has expanded to also include Hampshire, Dorper and Oxford sheep. “First time sheep owners should seek out information from current breeders to help find the right breed for them. Different breeds require different housing, grooming, and feeding routines. No two breeds are exactly the same. If you do your research, there will be one breed that will fit your personality, needs, and wants better than the others. If you pick the right one to start out with, you will be hooked and possibly find other breeds to connect with over time.” -Rebecca Krinsky of Slack Farms #sheep #womenwhofarm #sheepbreeder
