About Us
WHO WE ARE
BLEVINS FARMS HAS BEEN AROUND FOR QUITE SOME TIME. WELL, THE BLEVINS FAMILY MOVED TO ELIZABETHTON TN SOMETIME SHORTLY BEFORE THE CIVIL WAR. CURRENTLY MY HUSBAND AND I LIVE IN THE ORIGINAL HOUSE THAT WAS BUILT JUST AFTER THAT. WE CALL IT BLEVINS FARMS WITH AN "S" BECAUSE WE ARE KIND OF ALL OVER THE PLACE! I PERSONALLY HAVE BEEN A BLEVINS SINCE 2018, AND I BELIEVE THATS WHEN THE IDEA OF FARMS CAME ABOUT. WHILE THE BLEVINS FAMILY ARE TRADITIONAL FARMERS THAT RAISE CATTLE, HORSES AND HAY, I GREW UP STRICTLY WITH RUNNING HORSES. BARREL RACING WAS THE THING AT MY HOME GROWING UP, THE ONLY THING! FAST FORWARD TO 2021 WHEN MY FAMILY WAS ABLE TO SELL THEIR PLACE AND MOVE TO BLEVINS FARM. WE MERGED TWO FAMILIES AND ALOT OF IDEAS! DURING COVID, WE COULDN'T TRAVEL TO RACES AS MUCH, SO I BECAME INTERESTED IN THE REPRODUCTIVE SIDE OF THE INDUSTRY. MY HUSBAND AND HIS FAMILY HAVE BEEN IN THE SALES SIDE AND HE IS A LIVESTOCK AUCTIONEER. SO SELLING HORSES IS NO STRANGE TASK TO US. RAISING THEM, HOWEVER, WAS. SPENDING THE LAST 2 YEARS FOCUSING SOLELY ON A BREEDING PROGRAM HAS BEEN BOTH TRYING AND ENTERTAINING. I ALWAYS HAVE A NEW IDEA THAT SOMEHOW EVERYONE SEEMS TO MAKE POSSIBLE. SO HERE WE ARE IN 2023, WITH CATTLE, WAY TOO MANY HORSES, AND AN IN-FARM REPRODUCTIVE FACILITY TO MAKE IT ALL HAPPEN.
WHAT WE DO
TO BE HONEST, WE ALL DO A LITTLE SOMETHING DIFFERENT AROUND HERE. MY HUSBAND IS THE AUCTIONEER. HE TRAVELS AND SELLS LIVESTOCK AT VARIOUS SALES ACROSS THE COUNTRY. I AM THE TROUBLE MAKER, NO REALLY. I MAKE ALL THE TROUBLE FOR EVERYONE. I MAKE ALL THE BABIES HAPPEN: FROM COLLECTING SEMEN, INSIMINATING, ULTRASOUNDING, AND BIRTHING. MY FATHER-IN-LAW IS THE BACKBONE OF THE BLEVINS FAMILY. HE CARRIED ON THE HORSE LEGACY FOR THEM WITH SALE BARNS AND BUYING AND SELLING HORSES. HE TOO IS AN AUCTIONEER AND PASSED THAT TALENT ON TO MY HUSBAND. MY DAD IS THE TALENT OF MY FAMILY AND WHILE HE WORKS A FULL TIME JOB, HE IS OUR HANDYMAN, COLT STARTER, FARRIER AND GO TO FOR JUST ABOUT ANYTHING. THEN YOU HAVE THE WOMEN OF BOTH FAMILIES, OUR MOTHERS. THEY ARE THE TRUE STRENGTH BEHIND BLEVINS FARMS. WHILE THEY DONT ALWAYS GET THE CREDIT, THEY HAVE MAINTAINED THIS FAMILY BEHIND THE SCENES FOREVER!
WHY WE DO IT
THE PROFESSIONAL ANSWER WOULD BE BECAUSE WE LOVE IT. THE HONEST ANSWER IS WE ARE ADDICTED TO IT. HORSES WILL DO THAT TO YOU! SO LET US HELP YOU FIND YOUR NEXT ADDITION AND CONTRIBUTE TO SOMEONE ELSE'S ADDICTION!
