Eriphos Farm
"Where Every Animal Is Special"
About Us
Our family consists of five human members and numerous other finned, feathered, and four-legged members. Animals have been here for the entire time and we have all grown to make them a part of our life. Zane, Eva, Zachary, Tora, and Teri Seals all stand behind what they produce and are proud of it.
Zane
Seals is MIS
Manager at Standard Machine in St.
Louis. He keeps the computers running for the plant there, as well as our
computer here. He helped Tora tremendously in learning about computers; they are
both to thank for this site. Zane also assists in every building and
construction project we have here.
Eva
Seals works at the farm, conducting most of our
business. Eva has had animals all her life, from guinea pigs, dogs, and goats in
4-H as a kid, to everything she has now. Eva attended Oklahoma State University
for pre-veterinary classes. She is also a 4-H leader and has led projects such
as Dog Care, Rabbit, Bucket Calf, Self-Determined, and others. She raises
Holland Lops and is the overseer in all matters here.
Zachary
Seals "Zach" currently drives a truck with Hays Food Systems in
Warrenton. Before this,
he was a closing manager at Orscheln Farm and Home store. He has also been
employed as
a farm hand at an alpaca farm in Warrenton. Zach enjoys all of his animals, especially Janie
(his Border
Collie), turkeys, ducks and others. When Zach was in 4-H, he was an accomplished horseman and won
numerous speed events with his buckskin Appaloosa mare, Jetta.
Tora
Seals attends Lindenwood University and is majoring in Biology, with an
emphasis on Pre-Veterinary Medicine and a minor in Chemistry. She has worked in
PetSmart, kenne
ls
and as a farm hand, and offers farm-sitting and house-sitting. She
recently graduated from 4-H after 11 years. Now, she is a 4-H co-leader for the Dog Care project. She raises
many of the animals on this site. She
shows most of our animals, and has shown alpacas, cattle, and cavies, in addition to the animals we have currently. She loves the show
atmosphere and fitting animals for show. She clips, shears, blocks, trims, and
bathes all of our animals, even if they don’t have a show coming up. Tora has
also offered her grooming services to friends and helped with their dogs, goats,
sheep, and horses. Tora has qualified for the Warren Co. 4-H Senior Livestock Judging Team
for the past five years and placed 10th overall individual at the 2008 Missouri
State 4-H Livestock Judging Contest. Tora also enjoys
working with computers and designed this site.
Teri
Seals' main occupation is being a homeschooled seventh grader. She is also a
6th year 4-Her and enjoys showing her
rabbits, dogs, and
goats. Teri is training her dogs, Marti and Sarabi, and raising Holland Lop,
Champagne D'Argent,
Dutch, and Netherland Dwarf rabbits. Teri competes in the Livestock Judging competitions and has
shown many animals for her young age. Teri loves to groom animals as well,
especially dogs. She is becoming quite the showwoman and has received
championship trophies for sheep, dog, and goat showmanship.
