Had a little luck 🍀 o the Irish today from old Maeve popping out two stunning ewe lambs and a wee lad of a ram. Meet Mollie, Patrick and Irish! ☘️

Mama Maeve was pretty stressed, and gave me a warning stomp before realizing who I was, but once she did she lay down beside me and had a well deserved nap while her hours old babies bopped around her like little fleas until she growled at them to nap with her 😂.

I am pleased as punch!

Presenting the first ranch born lambs of the season!

ALL EWES ! 😍

That means our flock has grown exponentially already as none of these ladies will be going anywhere. That’s right, allllllllll mine 🥰

First up we have Margaret with her two girls Ruth and Gertrude. Margaret is a St. Croix and her babies are half dorper. She is a former bottle baby, but is SUCH a good mama and raises happy, tame, HEFTY babies.

Now let me wax poetic….from this morning my 10year old herd queen Scotch absolutely BLESSED me with triplet girls. Scotch is 100% retiring now and has more than earned the rest of her life to be lived out here along side her sister Maeve and her daughters. This does not make me a very practical farmer I realize, but these two ladies have more than earned their spot in the lush, pasture life. Considering sheep have a natural lifespan of 10-12 years, I knew I was tempting fate a little when I bred Scotch and Maeve one last time, but they’re in such phenomenal shape so I took the gamble and it’s more than paid off. Maeve is due shortly as well, and I have no doubt will do just as effortlessly as her sister. (Though I do have lamb milk replacer on hand just in case). I am thankful every day for these two amazing animals. Thanks to them I have a very quiet, tame and intelligent flock that come when they’re called. I can go in with any of the mamas with their new babies and handle them without being flattened, and they instinctively teach the next generations to have the same mindset that they have.
Not to mention that after a decade of being in the registered goat world, a person can become very disillusioned and burnt out. I’ve personally found Goats are a very hands on, involved animal to raise and among their favourite things to do is drop dead; but these sheep have brought back the joy and light to farming that had gone out in me. That right there is worth keeping two old sheep around for as long as they’re healthy and happy.

As you can see, Bishop is already in love with “his” new babies, and he made sure he desperately protected them from the fat little pigs wandering by 😂

Lupichuk’s lambing lounge is open for business! Newly scraped with a fresh smelling layer of shavings and topped with bucket loads of new straw for when my Katahdins start to lamb, which will be as early as this coming week!

We are in for another slightly cold snap so that means despite being tough old birds, all my expecting ewes will come into the barn at night, just in case they decide midnight lambs are best (though typically they all prefer daylight babies). My girls all know the routine and I swear they love it.

Not to mention having them lamb inside helps negate predator issues, since Bishop the LGD is still just a baby!

Exciting and happy times ahead 🥰

(The wooly babies also got some fresh straw!)

It’s hard to look cool with your car full of sheep 😂

We didn’t celebrate Christmas this year but with these babies and the new addition coming tomorrow it’s pretty close to one of my favourites 🩵

**UPDATE**
Only a couple shoulder and leg roasts left but lots of lamb steaks, ribs and chops left!
If anyone wants some farm fresh, pasture finished lamb let me know. Will also have fresh beef later this Winter and can make monthly trips up North to Hay River too.

The lamb chops may be little, but the tender meat melts off the bone and is so packed full of lean, fresh flavour! The fat caramelizes beautifully on a cast iron skillet and the lemon brought it up to a bright finish.

Slowly but surely purchases are going out the door! We are so thankful to everyone who has placed an order so far, and we cannot wait to hear your feedback!

When you buy lamb or beef from us, not only are you supporting a small,local farmer, you are also guaranteed to receive quality food from quality, healthy, and ethically raised animals. Our lambs and beef steers are raised wholly on pasture alone (and hay from our own fields in the winter). They have access to fresh water 24/7, shelter from the elements and live out a good and purposeful life. We truly believe in quality of life and care versus quantity, which is why we only had two lambs for processing this year, and one beef steer to come this winter.

Thanks again to everyone, and for anyone else wanting to order, we still have lamb! Message me here or text: 780-836-9711.

The cuts are back from the butcher! (A licensed and certified facility). There are very limited quantities available at this time as our crop was small (only two lambs went this year as we are just starting out and want to keep quality over quantity!) They were completely grass raised and finished and we are competitively priced with the rest of the province.

Delivery is free in the Manning and Dixonville areas!
