Congrats and good luck. We dabbled in the same with beef after BSE and gave up after a bit. Came to the realization it was easier to deal with more cows than the public. Although not as profitable it was less stressful.

Good on you for making it work.

Thanks for all the encouragement everyone. It means a lot, I was not expecting it. Thanks again.

Congratulations on your success! You and your family should be proud of yourselves. Not everyone is jealous of someone trying to better themselves and that is why you received comments of encouragement.

Terry, in Canora made awesome shishliki. We really miss not being able to get them anymore. I look forward to trying yours on-line.

Ya gone on to bigger and better things the last few years. Less skill needed at what he does now lol

I am in Regina. They used to carry Terry’s at Ukrainian Coop here but not anymore. You should contact UK Coop, prolly good market opportunity. I remember the really old days of the open pit at Sports days around Kamsack. Long skewers of shishliki on a thick slice of homemade bread. Will Never Forget It. Hot as the hubs of hell out there but never too hot for the shishliki🥵

We dropped off samples at the Ukrainian coop and I thought they were gunna bite, but I think our price was too high. They had some ugly looking shish (sorry, true), there that was pretty cheap. It takes time to find and define ones market. Tried a Ukrainian store in Saskatoon too, but he balked at our price.

Congratulations, good to see your outside of the box thinking being rewarded. I'd much rather read your success stories than all of the whining that typically goes on about how terrible farming is.

So what is the market for cull sheep? Is the meat good for anything?

Yeah we have our culls made into sausage. Works out really good. We have plans for several more products in the near future. Different buyers have different needs.

Good for you, selling quality food to people is always rewarding and another iron in the fire is good insurance.

Its nice to hear a good news story. Thank you Sheepwheat. Good on you.

I tried making my own but just not quite the right flavour.
