💛 An Important Message from BB Farms 💛

After a great deal of thought and many hard conversations, we made the extremely difficult decision to disperse the BB Farms flock.

This is not something we ever imagined writing. Sheep—and everything that came with them—have shaped our days, our seasons, and our lives in ways that are hard to put into words.

Over the past while, we have watched our ewes leave one by one for their new homes. Each one carried memories with her, and while it was incredibly hard to see them go, it also meant so much to know they were going to places where they will be cared for and valued.

Today was a reminder of why we loved this life so much.

We kept back a small group — 4 to lamb in April and 1 to lamb in May — and this morning, starting at 2 AM and finishing around 6 AM, we welcomed 4 sets of healthy twins into the world. Quiet moments in the barn, new life, and that familiar feeling we’ve known for so many years.

At the same time, our phones filled with pictures and videos from the new homes of our ewes as they lambed out. Seeing them settled, cared for, and continuing on in new flocks brought a kind of comfort that’s hard to explain.

We want to sincerely thank everyone who purchased our genetics. It meant everything to us to see them go to homes where they will be appreciated and loved just as much as they were here.

It still feels surreal.

We’re not leaving the industry — it will just look different. And while this chapter is closing, the people, the memories, and the love for what we’ve built will always stay with us.

If we have any rams remaining, they will be shared here.

To everyone who has been part of BB Farms — thank you. For the support, the friendships, the early mornings, the late nights, the shows, and the countless memories.

Thank you for being part of our story. 🤍
We hope to see you this summer.

The last picture is just one of the pictures we received today from Sheep Wrangler Farms with Miss Maddie and "her" new lambs!

As we look back on this year, our hearts are full.

We are deeply grateful for our past buyers, present buyers, and especially our repeat buyers. Your continued trust in our program means more than we could ever put into words.

This year brought early mornings, late nights, lambing season, show days, and countless quiet moments in between — the ones that remind us why we do this. We are thankful beyond measure for our family and friends who stand beside us through every season.

Giving back remains close to our hearts. We were proud to support research and development through the Saskatchewan Sheep Development Board, made possible by Dusty Ridge Ranch traveling from Manitoba and supporting both our program and the fund by purchasing the donated girls. A heartfelt thank you as well to Mar-Mac Acres Kealey for making the trip from Ontario to the Classic and taking girls home. Those moments were highlights we won’t forget.

Every buyer matters to us. But it’s the relationships, the shared belief in what we’re building, and the trust placed in our program that truly mean everything.

As we step into 2026, we do so grateful, grounded, and ready for what’s ahead.

From our farm to yours — thank you for being part of our story. 🤍🐑

Genetics are powerful.
And when you look closely, you can see just how powerful pedigree repeaters truly are. We continue to see the same strong genetics rise to the top generation after generation — and many of these ancestors have also taken us to the winner’s circle over the years.
Consistency doesn’t happen by accident.

UPDATE 💙🐑

We are incredibly honoured to share that BB Farms placed 3rd in the
🏆 2025 All-Canada GenOvis Recognition Awards, in partnership with the Canadian Sheep Breeders’ Association / Société Canadienne des Éleveurs de Moutons!

Placing 3rd in Canada is something we are incredibly proud of. Being recognized among the Top 3 is truly an honour, regardless of placement.

A huge thank you to CEPOQ (GenOvis) and Canadian Sheep Breeders' Assoc / Société Canadienne des Éleveurs de Moutons (CSBA) for supporting producers and recognizing the work being done in flocks across Canada. We are beyond grateful and humbled.

Congratulations to our fellow Saskatchewan producers, Prk Katahdins, on their nomination and for also placing 3rd in the Maternal Breed category — well deserved! 🐑👏

Congratulations as well to our fellow nominees:
🥇 1st – Noble Hills https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100079295839532
🥈 2nd – Blackies Suffolks https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100064673862532

It is truly an honour to be recognized alongside such outstanding Canadian sheep programs across Canada. 🇨🇦🐑

To our fellow Saskatchewan sheep producers: if you’re looking to take your purebred or commercial program to the next level, we highly recommend GenOvis. The data, tools, and support truly make a difference.

💡 Fun Facts 💡

• Our current #2 and #3 ram lambs in the flock just went to Candiac Auction Mart yesterday.
• Numbers are a TOOL. Just because the numbers are there doesn’t always mean they’re keepers — or sellers. There is much more to our selection process than data alone.

• New this year: At 60 days (weaning), if lambs weren’t 50 lbs, they automatically went on the truck. No second-guessing. They’ll be sorted through at least three more times before being listed for sale.
➡️ Efficiency matters. Bottom line matters. And we improve both every year.

📚 Lessons Learned 📚

1️⃣ Stop giving your kids sheep — they either die (Eli) or turn into absolute rockstars (Abby Bartlett), and suddenly your “manageable flock” is no longer manageable… because nobody is allowed to sell anything. 🐑😅
2️⃣ Researching pedigrees and genetics until the wee hours of the morning is far more productive than you realize.

Sorry… not sorry for the long post.
Genetics matter. Pedigrees matter. And consistency always shows in the long run.

Congratulations to our fellow finalists! No matter if you place 1st or 3rd, it is a huge honour to be recognized among the Top 3 across Canada. 🐑🇨🇦

Thank you so much for the shout out CluckinHomestead! It was so nice to see this! Love fellow producers helping fellow producers! Love your page!

This year we gave the babies oodles of zoomie room — and they’re loving it! 🐑💨
Huge shoutout to Affordable Equipment Affordable Livestock Equipment affordable_livestock_equipment for the moveable panels — so handy and easy to use! 👏

Lambing went extremely well this season, with quite a few first-time mamas in the group. 💕
We did have our first (and hopefully last!) broken leg — but that little one is healing up well and keeping up with the crew. 🩹🐑

The lambs are thriving, stretching those legs, and showing off their best zoomies every morning and night!

Now it’s on to breeding for April/May — here we go again! 🐏🌸

We don’t usually share much personal news on our farm page, but one month ago today, we lost Daniel’s mom. 💔

We are incredibly thankful for all of the texts, calls, and messages we’ve received. Your kindness has meant so much. We’re especially grateful to everyone who took care of things at home so we could be by her side in those final days.

A very special thank you to our 12-year-old daughter, who held everything together — driving the side-by-side and feeding sheep like a boss! 🐑💪

Usually when lambing season starts, we get a few early arrivals. This year, while we were at the hospital, we had backup lined up (thank you again to them!), but we were hoping we wouldn’t need to call. Joan passed away just after midnight on Thursday, and lambing was set to begin on Saturday.

We got home around 3 a.m. and decided to grab a few hours of sleep. When we checked the barn camera at 8 a.m., we saw healthy little lambs bouncing around. Every single one had waited until we were home. 🐑❤️

Although we knew everything was in good hands while we were away, being able to focus on family during that time was a blessing — and for that, we can truly say: God is good, all the time. 🙏

We’ll be posting pictures and videos of our sale sheep in the coming weeks! We’ve got top-notch ram lambs, yearling rams, mature rams, and ewe lambs available. With prices as strong as they are, we’ve culled hard and kept only the best of the best.

Here’s a photo of one of our favorite ewes — named after two special ladies, Daniel’s mom and my Auntie Joan — both gone far too soon. She’ll be part of BB Farms for a very long time. 💕🐑
