LAIing Ewes

Posted on October 26, 2020 by Randy & Jelaine McDermit

On Friday, we had OC Flock Management from Alberta, Laproscopically AI twenty four of our yearling Dorset ewes.

We used semen from two outstanding Australian rams: Gooramma ‘Guru’ 308-2016 and Gooramma 723-2015.

We are looking forward to March 18 when the lambs start to arrive!

Hopefully we have a good success rate. Click on the pictures to enlarge them.

2019 All Canada Classic Sheep Show and Sale

Posted on July 30, 2019 by Randy & Jelaine McDermit

We attended the Classic in Humboldt, SK on July 19-21 with our Dorsets.
We were very pleased to have 1st place Junior Ewe Lamb, 2nd place Junior Ram Lamb, 3rd place Yearling Ewe and 6th place Yearling Ram.
The sale was well attended and prices were really strong, with a lot of animals going for over $1000. The sheep industry in Canada is doing very well!

Our son, Carson and grandkids, Tyrell 9, Taylen 7 and Hunter 6 came with me and they were all a great help. The kids took part in the Junior Show for the first time and had lots of fun. They worked hard to halter train their ewe lambs for the show.

May Happenings

We had a very busy and productive day on Saturday.
We weaned, weighed, vaccinated, dewormed and Vetoliced the 200+ March born lambs. Then sorted them into ram lamb and ewe lamb pens.
We also mouthed, bagged and Vetoliced the ewes and dewormed them as needed.

Tonight, I finally got our entries done for the All Canada Classic Show & Sale in Humboldt in July. I am bad for leaving things like that to the last minute because I have hard time deciding what to take.
Here is the ad I made for the catalogue. The rams in the photo are some of our stud rams.
