Whiskey Jack Farm

Whiskey Jack Farm is a Shetland sheep breeder in Horsefly, BC, in the Cariboo region near Williams Lake. Over many years the farm has supported Shetland sheep preservation through Canadian Sheep Breeders Association membership, participation at regional fairs and annual health screenings with local veterinarians. Ewes and lambs graze on rotational pastures bordered by native forest, with access to mineral-rich streams, early socialization activities and gentle handling from first days outdoors.

Owners Pearson, Chris and Michelle often host small groups during lambing season to share hands-on insights into rare-breed stewardship, fleece shearing and natural dye demonstrations. Their lambs develop into hardy sheep prized for fine fleece and calm temperaments, reflecting the farm’s careful breeding choices and commitment to genetic diversity. Pasture management focuses on ecological balance with careful rotations that support soil health and local wildflower habitats. This family-owned operation blends tradition with responsible stewardship practices.
