Video: Sheep Farming: Adapting To Change
Today at Ewetopia Farms, we have a lot of sheep that needed to adapt to change. Firstly, we had a first-time ewe, Cami, who had a ewe lamb which she was quite nervous about nursing. Sometimes young ewes need to learn to get used to the feeling of nursing and having a new baby. We also moved another group of lambs over to the Coveralls including the bottle baby group. These bottle babies had to not only adjust to a new barn, but also had to learn where the new bottle holder was and how to get in there. We also released another lamb into the family group so he also had to adapt to new living conditions. Adaptations are part of life on a sheep farm and it is fun to watch and see how everyone copes.
Sheep and sheep farming is our passion and we hope that the love we have for what we do is obvious to you the viewers. Our operation is a large scale, registered Suffolk and Poll Dorset sheep farm combining the best of pasture and confinement to manage the flock for maximum comfort, minimal stress, and producing a consistent, very high quality product. Our focus is on providing breeding stock for sale to other sheep producers. All our sheep are treated with the utmost compassion which I think will become evident as you join us on our daily rounds on our working sheep farm in eastern Ontario, Canada.
