Testimonials - What Others Have to Say about Kind Horn Farm

"We are so happy with our decision to start our new farm enterprise with sheep from Kind Horn Farm.  This past August we purchased and imported to Canada 11 sheep - 9 ewes (including 3 lambs, 3 yearlings, and 3 mature ewes) and 2 rams (a yearling and a lamb).

I knew from the moment that we first called that we were making the right decision to buy our flock from Kind Horn Farm. Kathy worked with us to help us select the very best animals from her flock to suit our farm goals of organic meat and fibre production. She helped us to maximize the genetic diversity of our new and growing flock.

As there are very few Icelandic sheep in our region (West Quebec/East Ontario), we are very pleased that we were able to start off with a flock with excellent, AI genetics. And since we are certifying as organic, it was a real benefit to start off with sheep that had already been thriving under organic management. Our sheep came home healthy, hardy, and have coped with the transition very well.

Importing ewes is a lot of extra work, both for the buyer and the seller.  Kathy worked with us every step of the way, from helping us to figure out the legalities and paperwork required, getting the additional tattooing and vet checks, and helping us to make sure it all went as smoothly as possible.

Kathy has mentored us before, during, and since the purchase. As new shepherds, it has been great being able to pick up the phone and get answers to our (many) questions. Kathy has so much knowledge on natural sheep care, organic management, and she really appreciates and cares for the welfare of her sheep, even after they’ve left her farm.

It has been our privilege to work with Kind Horn Farm. Thanks, Kathy!
