Helvetia Meadows Farm
I raise working
Great Pyrenees livestock guarding dogs (LGDs) and sheep on my small farm.
My ewe flock includes pure-bred North Country Cheviot (NCC) ewes and NCC-Blue-faced
Leicester (BFL) Mule ewes.
I use the three-tier system with terminal sires
including a New Zealand Suffolk and Texel. My BFL ram is used to produce
more NCC Mule ewes.
In late summer 2007, I
partnered with Defenders of Wildlife's
Bailey Wildlife Foundation Proactive
Carnivore Conservation Fund (www.defenders.org/proactive).
As part of a costshare program, we
placed 8 Great Pyrenees pups on 4 farms in the UP of Michigan.
