About Fecht Farm, Lyons
Fecht Family Farm
Sandy and Wayne purchased the farm in2018 intent to raise grass fed beef. The house had a wonderful view from the kitchen which sold Sandy on the place.
Wayne had already been herding for 10 years and thought about sheep for the dogs in addition to the cows. The hay field looked like it would be large enough for a trial field. A few sheep were purchased the next year for training Waynes dogs, Zip and Thor at the time.
The first Fecht Farm Trial was held in August 2021 the month that Sandy passed. Wayne credits the wonderful support from the set crew and dog community to make that event happen.
There has been a trial every year except 2025 due to health issues. Wayne plans on continuing with the trials until he can’t, and then have at least one more.
