Welcome

Welcome to Thornridge, a family farm owned and managed by the Earles family - Dave and Cinda and their two sons Drew and Mike. Drew has a B.S in Animal Sciences from the University of Illinois and Mike has an Associates Degree in Ag Business Management from Lincoln Land Community College. The farm, purchased by Cinda's family in 1964, is situated in the heart of central Illinois just south of Mechanicsburg.

Our family takes great pride in our agricultural heritage and we strive to produce high quality products that exceed the demands of our customers.

Thornridge has been active in building a tremendous herd of females since we purchased our first Boer female in the fall of 2005. Our females are selected to produce champion show wethers and percentage females that will compete at the national level. We are dedicated to becoming the source for show wethers in the Midwest.

Thornridge was instrumental in the creation and is a major sponsor of the Illinois Wether Series. Mike and Drew are committed to providing assistance to junior exhibitors with their goat projects and shaping them into future advocates for agriculture.

Visitors are always welcome at Thornridge, so the next time you are in the Land of Lincoln, give us a call and we will be happy to show you around. Thornridge is based about 10 miles east of Springfield, Illinois on Interstate 72. Take exit 114 and go south 2 miles to Mechanicsburg. The farm is only a half mile south of town on the right side of the road.
