About

For 22 years WhatYouWill Farm has been committed to the raising and promotion of rare and endangered domestic animals. The farm was first established as WhatYouWill Conservancy in 1997. Our mandate is to work for the preservation and promotion of endangered domestic breeds of farm animals in order to preserve diversity, vigour and heritage in Canadian agriculture.

Our breeds include:

  • Shetland, Navajo-Churro, Icelandic, Clun Forest Sheep

  • Chantecler Chickens

  • Exmoor Ponies

We have pure and crossbred sheep and lambs available for sale.

Since moving to our 100 acre farm south-west of Owen Sound Ontario, we have expanded our fibre flock and added Clun Forest genetics to increase the size of our freezer lamb. All of our lamb meat is very mild and tender. All of our sheep and lambs are raised and processed in accordance with the Humane Farm Animal Care Standards. 

All of our sheep are free to roam in large pasture areas. They are all raised on organic pasture and hay. When feeding grain, it is all non-GM. No antibiotic or de-wormers are used unnecessarily and the clinically established withdrawal times are doubled or tripled.

We are committed to sustainable farming through the practice of, rotational grazing, later first cut hay when possible, keeping the hedgerows, building the soil and sequestering carbon by maintaining pasture and hay fields.

WhatYouWill has been a part of two agricultural programs: Species At Risk & Grassland Habitat. These programs support and encourage farmers to include healthy and diverse wildlife habitat within their farm planning.

WhatYouWill has a 7 acre meadow refuge and pond, dedicated to the Bobolink, Meadow Lark,Monarch Butterfly and as a stopover for the migrating Wood Duck.

The Exmoor Pony is used both in Britain and Europe as a conservational grazer because of their hardiness and manner of grazing. This breed is endangered, with 4,000 Exmoors registered worldwide in Section 1 of the EPS Stud Book; with 500 of these ponies running free on the British Moors. There are approximately 50 Exmoors in all of North America. The Exmoor Pony is the closest surviving relative of the Prehistoric European Horse. They make excellent riding and driving ponies and are very easy keepers.
