Mandala Du Lac

Mandala Du Lac, American Blackbelly sheep breeder in Sherwood Park, AB, is located in Strathcona County and the Edmonton area. Laurie James is committed to ethical breeding, conducting regular health checks and maintaining pedigrees with recognized livestock associations.

The sheep live in spacious gently rolling pastures around a family farmstead, with daily handling to encourage gentle temperament and social herd dynamics. Each lamb benefits from attentive care, with early exposure to different sights and sounds to build confidence. The farm supports rotational grazing practices to maintain pasture health.

Local buyers often note the flock’s calm nature and consistent growth rates and easy management under varied pasture-based conditions. Laurie participates in regional sheep workshops to stay current on animal welfare and sustainable farming practices. The breeding season runs from late winter through early spring, aligning lambing with warmer months and abundant pasture growth.
