Rideau Arcott Sheep
Rideau Arcott Sheep are a breed that are known for excellent mothering instinct and fantastic milk production. We lamb on an accelerated system, with lambs born at least three times a year (January, April, September.)
We raise the lambs in a barn environment to prevent predation problems. Lambs are fed corn and supplement and good quality hay. The ewes graze on a rotational pasture system and eat baylage when grass runs out late fall.
We breed some ewes back to Rideau Arcott and a percentage are bred to Terminal Sire rams such as Charollais or Texel.
