Project
Farm Name
Tweedholm Farm
Farm Project Description
I am entering into the business of breeding and selling specialty livestock. We breed and sell Kunekune pigs and Nigerian dwarf goats. I am looking to expand into Miniature Highland cattle and Valais Blacknose sheep. We would be one of the first breeders of both in Canada. I have some acreage now but need more for grazing. Does not have to be quality grass as they are foragers and will be supplemented with other feed.
