Rocstock

Rocstock Farm is family owned and operated. It is composed of Jimmy and Robin Rochell, their daughter Brittney and their son, daughter-in-law, and granddaughter Josh, Kristy and Rae’kyn. Everyone always ask why the farm is named Rocstock so we will clear that up first. Our last name is Rochell so we took the first three letters, Roc, and combined them with stock because we have numerous kinds of animals. Together they became Rocstock.

On April 3, 1981 Jimmy and Robin married. Jimmy's dream was to own and operate a farm and to raise his kids in the country. Robin being a city girl, reluctantly agreed. Josh was born in ‘83 and Brittney followed in ‘86. In September of ‘88 they bought a house and 71 acres west of Duncan and started living the "dream". Jimmy started out with a small herd of cattle that has grown over time. Jimmy worked in the oilfield, while Robin stayed home with the kids and tended to the "farm life".

When Josh was old enough to join 4-H, he started showing cattle. When Brittney was old enough, she also joined 4-H. Josh wanted a show pig, but Jimmy said no. Josh finally succeeded in talking his dad into letting him and Brittney get show pigs. That year they both got Durocs. Little did any of us know this would be the beginning of a lifelong love for the whole family.

When the kids were old enough they both joined the FFA and continued to show cattle and pigs. Brittney showed sheep one year, but we all knew our love was with the pigs. Josh loved the study of them. He spent countless hours on the road with his agriculture teacher attending sales all over the state. He had found his calling. When he stepped foot into a pig barn it was like his whole life changed. We started raising pigs as a hobby, then it became so much more. It became part of us...it became who we are.

Agriculture has always been a huge part of our lives since the very beginning. Jimmy got his State Farmer degree back when he was in FFA. In ‘02 Josh received his State FFA degree at the State Convention in Oklahoma City and went on in ‘03 to receive his American FFA degree at the National FFA Convention in Louisville, Kentucky. Brittney was following closely in her dad and brothers footsteps. In ‘04 she received her State FFA degree at the State Convention and went on in ‘05 to receive her American FFA degree in Louisville, Kentucky. The American FFA degree is the highest degree anyone can obtain in the FFA. Only about one half of one percent of the total national membership of the organization attains this high honor.

As you can tell we are very proud for both kids to have received this honor.
