KyLand Farm

And thats a wrap for lambing and calving 2021 !

For sheep we ended up with 27 lambs on the ground, with an average of 2.14 lambs per ewe. It was so different lambing in during spring time as we typically lamb during the winter to produce 4H lambs. Talk about easy and stress free. This crop of lambs will be ready approximately end of June!

Every cow had a healthy calf from our small herd of cows. Two heifers and two bulls. There was some issues with our oldest cow Annabelle (14 years old) and we discovered she has a clogged milk duct and doesn't have milk for her calf so now we have a beautiful little heifer bottle calf. The goal was to get a heifer from her for her last year and we couldn't be more excited with this little calf. Now just to let these calves grow a bit before letting the girls out on pasture for the summer.

Next adventure? Kidding June 2021 ! Stay tuned for more baby pictures.

Feel free to message the page with any questions or about wanting to come out and see the place !

I love spring babies ❤️ lambing is about half done and still waiting for the first calf

Welcome to the KyLand Farm page!

We are a family owned and operated hobby farm located just outside of Strathmore, Alberta. The main owners of KyLand Farms are Kylee and Landon Hebbes. Our father moved onto this property as a young child back in the 1980’s and the farm was initially ran as a cattle ranch formally known as Lantern Ridge Ranch. The cattle had to be sold off when our fathers health started to decline. Then once Kylee and Landon reached the age to join 4H, sheep were introduced to the farm and started KyLand Farm. From there KyLand added cattle back into the mixture, and our most recent adventure is goats. We also grow our own hay to feed all our livestock.

Our flock of sheep consists of 30-40 commercial ewes (depending on the year) that run with a purebred North Country Cheviot ram. The majority of the ewes are Suffolk crosses and North Country Cheviot crosses, along with 2 purebred Hampshire ewes. Currently we are lambing in two different groups. One group of ewes lamb during December 2020 to January 2021 to have some lambs ready in time for 4H members to use for their projects. Our second group of ewes lamb at the end of April 2021.

The cattle portion of KyLand is small. We currently only have a herd of 4 cows. One purebred Black Angus (Annabelle), one blue roan/black Angus cross (Suzie), one black Angus cross (Bonnie), and one Red Angus cross (Maple). We are looking at expanding in the future but for now we are a very small cattle operation. Currently we are due to start calving at the end of April 2021. Pictures will be posted when they arrive.

The latest KyLand adventure was to buy some Nigerian Dwarf and American Pygmy goats. Our herd of goats consists of 7 does and one buck. Our does are Michelle (white ND/Pygmy cross, polled), Maleficent (black Pygmy, horned), Montana (black with white frost ND/Pygmy cross, polled), Eclipse (black and white ND/Pygmy cross, horned), Sprinkles (brown tri ND/Pygmy cross, horned), Orchid (brown tri ND/Pygmy cross, polled), and lastly our newest addition Kali (black with white frost ND, horned?). Our buck is Mikey (white, tan and black Pygmy, horned). Kids are expected early June 2021. We are still learning everyday about these little critters and will update information as our knowledge improves.

Our email address is [email protected] or you can private message the group directly. We encourage people to reach out with any questions.

Coffee is always on for anyone that would like an interactive tour of a small farm operation.
