@@EwetopiaFarms Noted, that is 15.24 Meter (W) x 42.67 Meter (L) and for the height I can be adjusted accordingly. Thank you for the information, I wish I could have a nice-robust barn just like yours in the near future. Thank you very much.

Thanks. Most are breeding stock. Market lambs go to the sales barn at auction.

When the barns are full, each one holds comfortably - not crammed full - 120 ewes with about 220-240 lambs

Hi and thanks for your question. In Canada most sheep farmers, including us, use straw as bedding on the barn floors. The straw absorbs most of the urine. When it starts to get dirty, we roll more straw out on top of the old. About 2 or 3 times a year, we use our skidsteer to clean out all the old bedding and replace it with new bedding. We use straw because it is absorbent and because the sheep like to snuggle up in it as it is warm and cosy and comfortable for them. It keeps them clean too. Please watch my videos in the How We Do It section on putting out new straw and cleaning the barns. Thanks!

Why are their backs painted? And, what is the significance of the different colors? TY.

We always put down fresh bedding because healthy sheep need to live in clean conditions.

Gravel and sand mix. The main barn is concrete but we prefer these floors

What is the main food for the ewes?

@EwetopiaFarms

Hay - either mixed grasses or alfalfa/grasses mix. They also get corn when necessary- to gain condition, flushing, pregnancy and lactation

Can sheep be raised in these barns year around

@EwetopiaFarms

Yes, however lambing in January-March in freezing conditions, I wouldn't recommend. They are great once lambs are dry or in warmer weather. I would say they must have curtains though.

Do they need heat in the winter time?

@EwetopiaFarms

No they are warm enough with their wool coats. In fact they do better in colder temperatures. But they do need shelter from cold winds and getting soaking wet.

is this a pasture raised ?
