About Us

Sydell is located near the small town of Burbank, in southeast South Dakota. South Dakota is the home of Mount Rushmore in the beautiful Black Hills.

In 1975, Sydell Farms was formed as a small family partnership that consisted of a father and two sons. They raised corn, alfalfa, soybeans, swine and sheep. In 1980 they formed a corporation under the name of Sydell, and started to manufacture swine equipment and some sheep equipment. The swine equipment sales were by far the best, but high interest rates and low swine prices in the early 80's brought the swine equipment sales to a stand still. The sheep equipment sales kept slowly going out the door. New products and new owners, John and Doralee Lynch, took over the sheep equipment manufacturing.

During the new startup, some key employees started with us and remain with Doralee and John today. Together we have introduced and expanded new products and continue to expand new products to the sheep and goat industry. Our team and work ethic, commitment to customers’ needs and support of youth groups such as 4-H and FFA, have made Sydell a common name to the producers in the sheep and goat industry.

Our unique line of products has made us the Number One choice among Universities, Research Facilities, Farm & Ranch producers and the youth groups.

I want to thank you for visiting our website, and if we can help you in any other way, please contact our friendly and courteous staff.
