Hi everyone!

I'm new here (obviously hahaha) My wife and I bought 10 acres in The fraser Valley in BC canada (by Vancouver) and last summer we started our little flock of sheep with 4 ewes and a Ram. All Dorper breed.
They are non registered but the farm we got them from was applying for the Ewe's father to be registered, so pretty strong Dorper lines.

We had our first Lamb on Monday Feb 11 2019 a little Ram lamb named Charger.

Well I hope to learn lots and share my knowledge when applicable!

Let me be the first to welcome you (though I'm from the other side of the pond....Wales). I'm sure you'll find the site a great help and the folk super-friendly, so don't be afraid to post for advice, even when you think you SHOULD know the answer....

We all love baby pics., particularly baby pics......so get your camera or phone out and post some (posting pics. is relatively straightforward, but just ask if any of the icons are unfamiliar to you)

Glad you've joined. I've actually been to BC....ski-ing in the Rockies some years back.....lovely place!

Howdy from Texas! That's a handsome little guy ya' got there! Our sheep are Dorper/Katahdin mixed so there are some spotty coat colors going on. Sheep are so much fun, they will twist around your heart in no time.

Please put your general location in your avatar so we have an idea of where you are in the world.

I look forward to hearing more about you and your farm. We are a friendly bunch here and love getting to know new members. It is a lambing tradition here to post LOTS of pictures! LOL
