Agriculture '98
Shayrina Sheep Farm opens in May
they have, a white-faced sheep
which are out of season breeders.
The other breed at Shayrina are the
more common, black-faced Suf-
focks, which lamb in the spring.
The Arcotts is a combination of
breeds, more a man-made one.
"Because it breeds out of season
then the meat can be supplied
throughout the year, not just at the
Easter market."
There will always be more to the
heart of Shayrina Sheep Farm than
business, however. From the past
and the memories built on that past,
Jacquie Bishop will continue to
have a goal separate from the typi-
cal one of livestock producers.
"I hope to accomplish something
that will enrich the lives of some
children. I want them to have a
chance to experience life on the
farm."
To get to Shayrina Sheep Farm,
go south from County Road 86 on
County Road 12. Turn right at the
first sideroad at Jamestown. Go
west three miles and watch for the
signs on the left hand side.
The phone number is 519-887-
9379 or e-mail them at
bish@wcl.on.ca.
Recyclo, Recycle, Recycle, Recycle,
And do it over and over again.

Mom and Dad are busy with chores.

Box Office.
Shayrina Sheep Farm will be
open from May to October, Satur-
day at 2 p.m. for the general public
and during the week for group
bookings.
As a livestock producer Jacquie
does struggle somewhat with how
to present an accurate picture of
modern farming. "People have said
they want to visit a sheep farm and
I hope that we let them see there is
more to sheep farming than sheep."
No matter what the commodity
there are aspects of the business
that no one could appreciate unless
they live the life. Sheep, Jacquie
admits are fairly low maintenace
with the exception of lambing sea-
son. "Then you're out in that barn at
all hours of the night."
When assistance is needed with
birthing, Jacquie laughs that it is
something Kevin handles better
than herself. "But it's amazing what
you do when he's at work."
Obviously, as livestock produc-
ers the primary source of income
from Shayrina are the lambs
shipped for meat. "This is where
the money is made, not from
wool," says Jacquie. "Primarily the
ethnic demand is so great for lamb
meat that Canadians can't supply
their own market."
To respond to that the Bishops
are trying to increase the Arcotts
