About our sheep
Our sheep are pasture raised in an intensive rotational grazing setting as soon as the weather allows it, usually in May, until the breeding season in mid-November. They will spend the winter in the barn, fed with hay only and free access to minerals and salt. The way we graze our animals allows for good soil management as well as parasite load management of our sheep. We only use a dewormer when an animal shows clinical signs. We prioritize flock health with a protocol to control biohazards when other farmers visit and by quarantining when we take in new animals.
Breeding stock selection
The selection of breeding stock is based first of all on conformation and health. Then, we work with the genetic selection program GenOvis which allows us to evaluate the growth of the lamb, the dairy capacity and the prolificity of the ewe. This program allows us to compare the statistics of each individual with the average of the flock in order to make an accurate choice. A small portion of the lambs will then be qualified as breeders and available for sale. In order to increase performance pressure, we keep a maximum of 10% of the ram lambs and 40% of the ewe lambs as breeding stock.
Our sheep are registered with the Canadian Livestock Records Corporation. You can consult the genealogy of our sheep by clicking here.
