Welcome to our website, we are a family-owned and operated farm located 25 miles west of Des Moines, right outside Bouton, Iowa. 

ET Livestock is led by Steve Taylor, Eric & Courtney Taylor, along with our youngest helper, Eli Taylor.

Steve has been raising sheep for over 4 decades, he has a lot of knowledge, experience and stories under his belt. Eric Taylor, Steve's son, was raised on this farm, where he gained valuable knowledge and experience as a child showing at livestock shows all over the states. Additionally, he has the key role in maintaining and advancing the genetics to stay competitive within the current industry.

We (Eric and Courtney) met at Iowa State University, where we both graduated with bachelor’s degrees in Agricultural Studies. We got married in 2021 and grew our family in 2023 with the arrival of our son Eli, who is now 2 years old. Although we both work full-time, we spend our evenings and weekends on the farm, where Eli is completely captivated by everything it has to offer. Courtney plays a vital role in handling the paperwork, as well as managing social media and marketing efforts.

We are dedicated to raising high-quality livestock while upholding the values of hard work, integrity, and ongoing genetic improvement each year. Together, we invest time in every facet of our operation, from daily care to ensuring the health and excellence of both our current and future herds. At ET Livestock, family is not just who we are—it’s the foundation of everything we do. We appreciate you being part of our journey and look forward to connecting with you at one of our live shows or sales, at the state fair, or even if you simply want to visit the farm for a tour

Sincerely, 

The Taylors
