About the Owner . . . Ted T. Golka Thank you for visiting our website. I would like to take this opportunity to introduce you to Double T Farm. Double T Farm was established in 1989. Currently, the farm maintains an ever growing wild waterfowl collection, peafowl, Lakenvelder chickens, pearl-gray guineas, Indian Fantail pigeons, purebred mouflon sheep, a pair of emus, one llama, which, I believe, is nothing more than a six foot dog in disguise, but does avidly protect the sheep herd from all invaders; and, a few ornery farm cats that seem to take pleasure in stalking me while I’m doing chores.
On a more personal note, along with the farm, I am also a home-improvement contractor and according to my wife, the official “garbage taker-outer”. I am married to a lovely woman, Janice, who was raised as a city girl, in Omaha, Nebraska and found the farm to be somewhat of a culture-shock. Over the last 13 years, she has acclimated very nicely to farm life and now believes she would never be able to live “in-town” ever again. I have a beautiful daughter, who currently lives in Elkhorn, Nebraska with her daughter and son; my son lives in Lake of the Ozarks, Missouri and owns his own business called Elite Water Features and Landscaping and, Janice’s son, lives in Overland Park, Kansas and is a brand new recruit for the Shawnee, Kansas Police Department. Again, thank you for browsing our website. I hope you like what you see. I am always open to ideas and suggestions, so please contact me via the Contact Us page with any questions you have about the stock or if you have any questions in general. |

The experience and education I accumulated
over my life time began with my love of animals at a very early
age. I began raising pigeons when I was 12 and started my own game
farm, in 1983, in Bennington, NE. In 1989, I moved my farm to
its current location in Glenwood, IA, which is just southeast of
Omaha, Nebraska and named it Double “T” Farm. In my career, I
worked 28 years in the field of veterinary medicine, in both
commercial and academic settings, which provided me with the
background to understand the needs of the animals. Adding to this, I
have 32 years as an active aviculturist, which enables me to provide
the appropriate care for these animals. I am a current member of
both the American Pheasant and Waterfowl Society (
