This website is a project of the Sheep Producers Association of Nova Scotia, which represents 340 sheep farmers in Nova Scotia. Sheep farmers in Nova Scotia are a diverse lot. Many are part-time farmers with small flocks. There are a few full-time sheep farmers with flocks as large as 550 ewes.

Website development was funded jointly by the Sheep Producers Association of Nova Scotia and the Nova Scotia Department of Agriculture’s Building Industry Capacity Fund.
