Our ewe flock is around 200 head and growing. Made up of mostly grade Cheviots, we’ve maintained our small registered Border Leicester and Finn programs alongside the commercial flock. The entire flock is shepherded with as extensive and low-input systems as possible. The flock is kept on pasture year-round, including for lambing, and supplemented with bale grazing in the harshest winter months. Health and hardiness of sheep is critical to our beliefs surrounding proper management, putting greater emphasis on prevention than treatment of disease. Less than 5% of our flock requires deworming over the course of the year with many individuals having never received anthelmintic in their lifetime. Our flock is OPP test-negative, free of foot rot, and requires no regular hoof trimming under our management.
