Katian Farm Limited

 
 


Our farm is located in Windsor, Nova Scotia.


We raise registered purebred North Country Cheviot sheep. Our flock size is currently close to 100 ewes.


When looking at the different breeds we chose the NCC as they thrive on a pasture based management system. As the Nova Scotia climate is very similar to the Scottish climate, our decisions were based partially on what the Scots have known for hundreds of years - the Scottish Blackface or the NCC are the breeds of choice for their climate and management system thus it would seem perfect for ours.


Our farm is “grass based” as they are only fed grass in the summer and hay in the winter. We do not give our sheep any supplemental feed. 


Our sheep lamb on pasture. The lambs are raised only on what they get from the pasture and their mothers as well as free choice loose mineral. We use a portable mineral feeder which we move from field to field with the sheep.
