Our Story

Our farm family consists of not only of the sheep and lambs but horses, a donkey, cats, rabbits, two livestock guardian dogs, a farm dog and a house dog. If you visit be prepared to be greeted by the dogs and intrigued by our noisy “guardians of the barnyard”, guinea fowl. Although we love to call them our own, the deer who frequent the fields are transient visitors. The resident ravens, red tailed hawk and curious fox add to the color and sound of our little hamlet. Although we breed, sell and show Border Leicester’s, purebred stock animals for sale is limited and you should call early in the year to see what is available. Border Leicesters’ temperament and ease of handling are great for the beginning sheep farmer. They can also compliment existing flocks by adding maternal power to your commercial line.

Our breeding direction has moved to a more commercial base using Romanov ewes, with a Border Leicester ram (or reverse) to produce an F-1 cross. This cross typically produces 2 to 3 lambs which, due to their excellent maternal traits, each mother can successfully raise.

In December, 2017 Brook Ridge Farm became the first in Canada to be certified under the Canadian Verified Sheep Program. This certification is based on farm practices, not limited to; humane treatment, animal husbandry and bio-security standards. We pride ourselves on producing healthy lambs for breeding stock, market lambs and replacement ewes and rams.
