our vision
our mission
Our mission is to provide high-quality solar vegetation management services in Southern Alberta, primarily through the use of grazing sheep.
The Benefits of Targeted Grazing with Sheep
Adaptability and Efficiency: Sheep thrive in various climates and terrains, accessing hard-to-reach areas and supporting diverse land management strategies.
Environmental Benefits: Targeted grazing with sheep reduces carbon emissions, minimizes soil compaction, and lowers wildfire risks compared to conventional methods, ensuring sustainable land management practices.
At Yetwood Farms, we believe in the power of using sheep for targeted grazing. While there are various animals that can be utilized for this purpose, sheep offer distinct advantages that make them the ideal choice.
Wool Production & Economic Viability: Wool production adds an additional revenue stream while maintaining environmentally responsible agricultural practices.
Precision Grazing: Sheep selectively target invasive plants and weeds, enhancing land productivity and reducing the need for chemical interventions or manual labor.
Biodiversity and Ecosystem Health: By promoting native plant growth, sheep contribute to ecosystem health and improve soil fertility naturally.
