Our concept of a ram sale was brought to life 20 years ago with the participation of other sheep producers with similar mindsets of quality, style, age development and warranty that should be offered in a ram.
We sold breeding stock from home, but with everyone wanting first pick, decided the fairest way was to sell by auction so everyone could have first pick.
Twenty years later and over 2500 yearling rams sold speaks for itself. We still see a lot of the same faces buying today that were at our first sale. We also see new faces every year, and the online bidding option has made our rams available to even more buyers.
We originally offered Suffolk, Hampshire, North Country Cheviot, Rambouillet, Columbia and Southdown in the sale. With our partners we currently offer Suffolk, Dorset, Ile de France, Charollais, Hampshire, North Country Cheviot, Rambouillet, Rideau and Canadian Arcott and to close out the sale the traditional Coloured ram.
We downsized our 300 head purebred sheep flock and totally dispersed the cattle operation in 2014. In 2024 we sold the Stavely lamb feedlot and wholesale meat business to John and Hanna Penner and have officially retired at Lake McGregor.
Retirement means a flock of 90 ewes – Suffolk, North Country Cheviot, Hampshire and Coloured Romney, Norine’s herd of goats and Warren’s small herd of Shorthorn cattle. This allows us to continue to have fun and still participate and stay in contact with the best ever group of friends and associates that one could wish for in this agricultural world.
