All in the Family - All in for Quality By Dale Sandlin
If you visit Rocking W Angus’ operation in Commerce, Ga., it might seem like there are more kids than adults; but the cattle remain the focus. The family includes Robin Wilson, co-owner of Rocking W Angus and CFO of K-12 Solutions Group, and wife Martha, Coordinator of Student Information for Jackson County Schools, and their four children: Brock, Drew, Parker and Carley. Brock is co-owner of RWA, CEO of K-12 Solutions Group LLC., and a software engineer. He and his wife, Kate, a teacher, have four children: Makenzie, Wyatt, and Dulaney and Ridley. Drew, a surveyor, and wife Ruth, a teacher, have three children: Collins, Burch and Boone. Parker is a pharmacist in Milledgeville. Carley attends Mercer University School of Medicine in the Primary Care Accelerated Track in Pediatrics. Adding to that, their farm manager and co-owner, Kirk Childress, has worked at RWA since 2014. His wife, Ashley, is a teacher; they have two daughters: Jaymi and Jemma. The Wilsons have a robust philosophy of family and work: “Sometimes it’s more of a zoo than a farm. We are glad to involve our children and grandchildren in the many aspects of the operation – and hope we raise them to know the value of hard work, relationships, and all that goes into 30
