For Topsy Farms, animal care is our top priority. This is part of our foundational philosophy: the sheep flock, the guardian dogs, the highland cows, the wildlife (birds, deer, monarch butterflies, and even coyotes). We, like other Ontario sheep farmers, are committed to providing the best animal care possible. Our shepherds adhere to the National Farm Animal Care Council’s Code of Practice for the Care and Handling of Sheep. Everyone who works at Topsy farms is required to follow both biosecurity protocols and good animal handling practices in accordance with industry guidelines. These animals are trusted to our care and we take this sacred responsibility very seriously.
