After 9 years of challenges, our vision for the future is now clear and focused. We have finally settled into a new routine of normalcy at our new home and facility in Ashton Ontario Canada.
We have now enjoyed several lambings in Ashton with great pleasure & success. The environment of our new facility is dry, fresh & clean, which bodes well for a healthy flock.
Our vision includes international markets that are opening for our Breeding Program
In June of 2021 we were contacted by Juan-Pablo Higuera, a Colombian immigrant living in Canada & Founder of the trade consulting firm Cannexion. After a dozen years of working on the animal export file, Canadian Certified Scrapie-free flocks are now eligible for export.
As a result of being the only Polled Dorset Flock who remained on the National Scrapie Program since 2007, we are told that we are the only Polled Dorset Flock in North America that meets the new health standards required to receive a Certificate to export Polled Dorset breeding animals to Colombia and their Andean trading Partners of Peru, Ecuador & Bolivia.
Our Breeding Stock is now being advertised in Colombia, the Andean Region and the USA
This will also give American buyers great assurance that our breeding stock is qualified to meet USDA import health standards, since effective January 2022 the USDA opened the US border to scrapie-resistant live breeding stock.
The future is looking bright for Rob & Shirley and their passion for raising healthy, True Type Polled Dorset Breeding Stock!
“Our greatest compliment is the number of repeat buyers we have"
