Milk'n'Wool Shepherds is a small family run sheep farm.  We sell sheep's milk, naturally raised lamb, Mennonite farmer sausage (from lamb), East Friesian breeding stock, hand-made wool products and fiber.  PLEASE NOTE, AS OF APRIL, 2000 WE HAVE SOLD OUR FLOCK OF SHEEP - WE ARE HOWEVER STILL SELLING WOOL, FELTED AND SHEEPSKIN PRODUCTS.   ALSO NOTE:::: AS OF AUGUST , 2001, WE HAVE RELOCATED TO SWIFT CURRENT, SASKATCHEWAN.  WE ARE ONLY SELLING WOOL , FELTED ITEMS AND SHEEPSKIN.
The Farm was situated  30 miles north east of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.  We had 40 acres dedicated to barns, sheds, corrals and paddocks designed to enhance rotational grazing.  We also leased 320 acres of prime alfalfa and grain production land for our feed requirements.
We were the first sheep dairy in Saskatchewan and one of a few in Canada.
We established our dairy operation in 1996, with our first milk season in Spring , 1997.  We then increased our herd from 6 - East Friesian ewes to  87 ewes lambing this Spring, 1999.  We were milking in excess of 70 ewes in 1999.   . We pasteurized sheep milk and were offering other dairy products to include ice cream, yogurt and cheese.
