seed preservation, Breeding rare sheep breeds
Museum volunteering demonstrations over the years I have kept the heirloom seeds and seed saving to share with in my community. I have spun wool dyed with some dye plants and have a rare breed breeding program for cotswold sheep. I have been working on Embryo and Artificial insemination on them for 2024 breeding season .
Additional Information
Visionary , looking toward a bright future for the museums in this province . I can bring that to the table for discussion . I have loaned my sheep to Sherbrooke Village for the last three seasons. I have assisted through education of what a cotswold sheep is, the beauty of the wool and how they can improve on the museum grounds with the sheep we send to them. They have invited the public to come and visit on their walk about with them . Sherbrooke Village instagram has them posted. this is really great advertisement with families who want to visit the location.
