Southwest Sheep Grazing Co-op Ltd

Southwest Sheep Grazing Co-op

The Southwest Sheep Grazing Co-op formerly the Tompkins Sheep Pasture, is run by a group of dedicated sheep producers in Southwest Saskatchewan that want to see sheep production continue to grow.
Most producers view the pasture as an excellent way to diversify and produce lamb with a limited land base devoted to sheep on their own properties.
The pasture is located about 35 kms. north of the Trans-Canada highway between Tompkins and Maple Creek, Sask.
Sheep are usually brought into the pasture around May 1 and all sheep leave by the end of October.
Take out days for lambs and ewes are scheduled through out August, September and October.
For more pasture information contact SSGC chairman Ken Kirwan at Gull Lake, SK.
