I have a sheep farm in Eastern Ontario. We raise Katahdin sheep which are a hair type and do not need shearing. They are for meat- not fibre. We also have a herd of about 14 llamas. All our animals are raised in as natural a way as possible. We do not use pesticides or artificial fertilizers and feed our own hay. We cannot use the term "organic: as there is no "organically" approved lamb slaughter facility in Eastern Ontario.

Terry Spicer on sheep shearing
Terry Spicer is giving a talk for District 8 about how to prepare for your sheep shearer's visit. This will be held at the school in Napanee on Monday, October 19th a 7 p.m. Anyone is welcome to attend - you don't have to live in District 8 - just own sheep or be thinking about getting into the sheep farming business.
We have been selling young Katahdin rams for breeding stock and still have some left for sale. We also have a few adult Katahidn ewes and some ewe lambs for sale.
Sorry, we are sold out of guard llamas for this year.
Thank you Mr K.S. from Harrowsmith for the purchase of ths nice white ram.
