Testimonials

We take great pride in the number of repeat buyers that rely on the success and performance of our genetics on their farms. We work with our customers to assist them in selecting animals that meet their flock production goals. Your success is our priority. Here is what some of our old, new and returning customers have to say ….

“The ram we got from you has worked very well. His first crop of lambs are hitting the ground now and I’m extremely impressed. He bred 27 yearlings and everyone has been unassisted and drinking within 5 minutes of birth. We had one ewe last night give triplets on her own and so far they are doing well.  Keep in touch and I’ll swing by soon when the weather is more pleasant to chat and pick out our next breeding stud ram.” John B., Ontario
  
“We bought 32 lovely ewe lambs from you last summer and a Rideau ram. We have been so pleased with them – 31 of them bred and lambed this spring and the 32nd has also bred, but will be a little later. We have had so many twins, good mothers and we have had such a wonderful time with them. We are looking to increase the flock and would like another 50 or 60 of that cross. The Suffolk Rideau ewes make an excellent dam line.”
Elaine O., Ontario

“My husband and I are quite pleased with the lambs and are happy to know we have bought animals from such a principled person.” Jennie M., PEI

“I had a ewe and a ram from your dad. 15K was the ewe, she was a good one! I didn’t get many females from her though. The ram was 4M, he was a big ram that crossed well with my ewes.” Clint W., Saskatchewan

“…bought an awesome Hampshire ram out of Oregon from u as well as a couple of your Suffolk ewe lambs….anyway….I am in the market for 20 ish ewe lambs” Ryan A., Quebec

“We are gearing up for our first lambing session. Very excited! Thanks so much for the follow-up. Very much appreciated :)” Kim G., Quebec

“The Hamp ram we got was Champion “All other breeds”. He has multiple Maple Meadows in his pedigree. We are going to be in your area later in the month and I thought it would be a good chance to stop in and bring home some more sheep.” Mark A., New Brunswick

“We are very pleased with the Hampshire ewe lamb that we purchased.” Julia D., New Brunswick

“We are looking to add 4 rams to our flock. We would like hampshire, suffolk and maybe dorset. By the way, our hampshire ram did VERY WELL, he almost got half of the 120 ewes! The lambs are just amazing, exactly what we wanted.”
Best regards,
Micheline B., Ontario

“We find the purebreds ewes we bought from you to be so much more productive than our commercial rideaus that we would like to convert the entire flock to purebred (and sell our 80 commercial rideaus gradually or not keep replacements from them). This means we expect to keep our purebred ewe lambs for the next 2 or 3 years. Our main objective is meat production. We like the multiple lambs being born from Rideaus but also value a strong average daily gain in the first 2-3 months. Thats what pays the bills. When we had cows we like to use 3 or 4 different bloodlines, with each bloodline having different traits and features. Yes, we would like to set ourselves up with unrelated genetics from what we have and we are trying to think about the next generations. Let me know if this helps give you a better idea of our objectives and what rams you have available to help us achieve these objectives.”
Michael R., Quebec

“Just wondering if you have a listing of rams that you have for sale again this year. If so I would like to look at the RA and Dorset listings if possible.” Dennis F., Ontario

“I still have the polled dorset I bought from you and he’s doing a great job! Please transfer the new ram’s Genovis records to us as the buyers. We are so pleased with him.” Jean B. Quebec

“The last Suffolk we got from you we used on our stud flock, and are pleased with the offspring. However this fall he would be breeding his daughters so we are looking for a new stud. If you would like to send me the results on the RR Suffolk rams when they come in I will take a look at them. The one Hamp we got from you has been an excellent breeder, but is starting to show his age now. “ Chris K., Ontario

“I’m the Veterinary Services Director for the lab. M Bouchard sent me the information about your breeding farm and I found it very interesting. I’d like to meet you and make a brief visit to see the facilities and the animals if that is possible. It could be an excellent opportunity to ask you a few more questions about the biosecurity and health status of your flock. We have qualified Maple Meadow Farms as an official supplier of sheep for our lab.” Quebec

“J’ai lu dans le dernier numéro Ontario Sheep News qu’un agneau de race Dorset, issus de votre élevage, inscrit au programme GenOvis avait obtenu le Highest Growth Index. Félicitations pour votre succès.” Joël Girard Quebec

“The ram from you has done well this fall, and is a good looking fellow. He is master over 9 ewes, so his life is pleasant.” Sue & Bob M. Quebec

“Please put me on the list for next year please. The hampshires we got from you are doing awesome. They all look very mature now”
Nat L. Ontario

“…as you can see the sheep have taken over the farm and we are enjoying every minute! We would be interested in another Rideau ram and Suffolk ram maybe a few Suffolk ewes as well. Mike R. Quebec
