Hardin County sheep producer Dave Burkhart was named the 2018 Charles Boyles Ohio Master Shepherd of the Year at the Buckeye Shepherd’s Symposium held Dec. 1 in Wooster.
He started his sheep production enterprise in 1987 when he purchased his farm near Alger. He built his flock up to 300 head of sheep, but has since decreased the size of his operation. Burkhart is a commercial sheep producer, raising crossbred Dorset white faced ewes, along with some Suffolk-Hampshire crossbred ewes. His ewes are bred each year with a couple of purebred Suffolk rams, a crossbred Hampshire and a white-faced ram that isn’t always a Dorset.
