Welcome to our portion of stealing some of Jason and Kelly's webpage.
Landon and myself, Kjerstin along with our 3 daughters are located out in the East Central side of the province North of Regina, on Landon's family crop farm. Here we are raising Purebred North Country Cheviots and commercials (Mainly a Mule flock (Bluefaced Leicester on a North Country Cheviot)) alongside a breed up/percentages program and a few purebred Texel sheep. The flock is getting up into the triple numbers for breeding ewes with strong genetics within the flock itself. Being where we are located, we strive to have a good market lamb raised on grass and finished on barley. Our ewe/ram lambs are raised on pasture away from the farm with guard dogs, this make strong and very adaptable to the rough terrain yearlings that will perform without special feeds. Each year we have a select few rams and ewe lambs that we have raised up for grabs. They are strong genetics coming from Fusilier Sheep lines for dams, while the rams now all come from British Columbia (because the mountain rams perform well for us). The Northie is UK Sired and White Rose on the bottom side, "Ernie" is a very strong and hardy ram. The texel ram, "Bert" is from the Finley Farms, a very versatile ram that we are enjoying throwing onto the Mules and making a strong market lamb/replacement ewe. These rams we are very proud of, as they are giving a stronger ewe side of our flock. |
