For Sale ~ Dorset, Southdown, North Country Cheviot, Canadian Arcott, Suffolk and Rambouillet Fleece

Dear Friends of Fibre & fellow shepherds - greetings from Northeast BC from Peace View Colony Sheep Farm where we raise pasture based ewes bred for suitability on the open range.

My name is Andy Tschetter. I manage our sheep program here on the south slopes of the Peace River where fibre has taken a renewed interest of late - putting value to wool and subsequent product.
I'd like to take the opportunity to inform your members about our growing fine wool program and the resulting effort using Rambouillet wool. In 2010 we began an experiment with our 60 Rambouillet ewes , focusing on the breeding first  - our goal was to select a type of Rambouillet better suited for pasture so this meant retaining a Rambouillet with better feet, not as high in the leg and also with better muscling capacity than the traditional lanky, angular type of Rambouillet.  Not an easy task given the importance of trying to maintain proper Rambouillet breed characteristics.  But the effort has taken off now with with ewes being retained with astonishing depth. Also rams with great depth have since been retained and maintained.  Last year we started putting individual Rambouillet fleeces up for sale.  Using the testing services of LM Livestock Services courtesy of Lisa Surber , Ph. D., our mission continues. Please contact me with any inquiries.
Sincerely, Andy   Cell: 1-250 467 3957   andytschetter88@gmail.com
