Wall 2 Wall Sheep Ranch

Pete and Lorna Wall began with an 80 acre farm for their alpacas and needed some sheep to help keep up to the grass.  Having originally wanted shedding sheep they jumped at the chance to buy a small herd of Katahdin & Barbados Blackbellie ewes which were then bred to a Dorper ram.  Finding that they really did enjoy having sheep they moved two provinces and bought Registered Dorpers to facilitate having quality breeding rams for their 200 Katahdin/Dorper ewes, they now have specialized in full blood WHITE DORPERS.  Their farm in Manitoba has 160 acres for their herd to utilize.
Pete & Lorna are mentors to several new shepherds in Manitoba and will try to assist with questions anyone has over the phone or by email.  They also have a website with information on handling, health, marketing and general information about raising Dorpers in Canada.  There is a demand for the milder flavor of the Dorper, with even the older animals easily matching the taste and tenderness of lambs of other breeds.
To assist with the handling of large numbers of sheep, Pete also is raising registered Border Collie Stock Dogs.  They have held a stock dog fun-day and welcome visitors to learn more about sheep, stock dogs and livestock guardian dogs.   You can visit their website at www.wall2wallsheep.com Wall 2 Wall Sheep Ranch works hard to put quality rams in commercial herds with the belief that if the shedding sheep have quality and size at market, then we all will have an increase in demand and profitability from our sheep of the future: DORPERS.
