Brunkow Family Lamb

Our Mission

To be the best stewards of the air, water and land we are entrusted to produce the highest quality lamb in the most sustainable way with the least stress to our livestock. Ultimately our mission is to pass our mutli-generational ranch to the next generation.

Who We Are

Glenn, Jennifer, Tatum and Isaac Brunkow are the fifth and sixth generations on our Pottawatomie County Flint Hills ranch. Jennifer's Grandfather Wayne Gatlin is the inspiration for our sheep flock. Isaac and Tatum started our sheep operation with 4-H lambs and it has grown to over 70 ewes now. Isaac was one of the initial recipients of the Kansas Sheep Association Starter Flock Grant and that has led to his current flock of Southdown sheep. Glenn is the only full-time employee on the farm. Jennifer is the Facilities Manager for the Kansas Department of Agriculture. Isaac is at U.S. Meat Animal Research Center in Clay Center, NE and Tatum is a graduate student at the University of Nebraska in Lincoln.

What We Do

Brunkow Family Lamb is striving to be sustainable so that we can pass the farm down to the next generation. We practice regenerative agriculture and low stress livestock handling. It is our belief that a cropping system should contain multiple species of plants and include livestock grazing. We are also blessed to be in the Flint Hills and have the greatest native warm season grazing in the world.
