If you aren’t already a member of the Inter Island Sheep Breeders Association It’s not too late! Annual membership is only $10 per farm, and gives you access to exciting workshops like this upcoming one in November.

UPCOMING WORKSHOP!
Saturday November 18, 2023

This workshop is being offered free of charge to members who have paid their annual membership dues of $10. It’s not too late for those still interested in joining, to purchase their annual membership to attend this, and all future events!

This workshop will be led by Dr. Helen Schwantje, and will cover all aspects of humane slaughter and necropsy of an ill or ailing animal. Maybe not the most glamorous part of farming, but a very important tool to help us as farmers to be more self-sufficient in our operations.

Parry Bay sheep farm is graciously hosting this event, and in addition to Dr. Helen’s demonstration, John and Lorraine Buchanan will offer some hands-on sheep grading, to help identify those animals that might need some more attention.

Please RSVP to [email protected] by Wednesday November 15

Hello all! The Inter-Island Sheep Breeders Association (IISBA) is trying to get up and running again. They are an officially registered association with the government, but have been inactive in the past few years. Right now they are trying to get people to commit to being members and pay the suggested $20/farm membership and get involved with expanding and running the association. I have volunteered to be the president of this association, because I believe this is a great opportunity for sheep breeders to connect and share our passion.

Meeting tomorrow (saturday) at 1:00 on zoom. See link attached. I hope you see you all there!

Happy new year!

I always like to start my tentative wait list as early as possible to know what my shearing season will look like.
Please text me (250-937-8933) with your number of sheep needing shearing, and your ideal shearing date for 2023. As always I will do my best to accommodate everyone, but I appreciate your patience and flexibility with my schedule as well!
I look forward to seeing you all soon 🐑

Another large flock off the list today! It’s been a scheduling nightmare this spring with all the rain, but I’m finally getting caught up. So nice to see some more sun ☀️
