Interested in adding a sheep flock to your farm? Curious about how rotationally grazing sheep differs from grazing beef? Jim and Wanda Johnston have been raising grass-fed beef and pastured lamb at Pasture Hill Farm in New Liskeard for 27 years and have a commercial-sized flock of 650 ewes. Before moving to farming full-time, Jim worked as the Forage and Sheep Researcher at the New Liskeard Agricultural Research Station.

Watch a pre-recorded virtual tour of Pasture Hill Farm, and then join Jim and OMAFRA Forage and Grazing Specialist Christine O’Reilly for a webinar presentation on rotational grazing, including best practices, forage growing cycles, how to improve forage yield and quality, and more.
