About

Hi! I’m Kamden. I’m the face behind Prairie Shepherdess. I’m a fibre farmer & shepherdess raising Icelandic sheep outside of Camrose, Alberta. 

After living in town until the time I was 9, my family made the choice to move out of town, get a few chickens & pigs, and here we are 10 years later. Currently, my family raises hogs, cattle, and chickens, and I’ve got the sheep.

We had brought in weaned lambs and raised them for meat for a few years and it wasn't until 2020 when we got our first ewes, and I've never looked back. My parents welcomed a group of 10 bred Navajo Churro sheep in the spring of 2020, and here we are six years later! I’ve dabbled in the sheep world with a few breeds such as Icelandic, Navajo Churro, Rideau Arcott, Suffolk, and even Black Welsh Mountain, but after time, I decided Icelandic's were my passion and I've streamlined my flock to a purely registered flock of Icelandic's. I currently have a flock of16 ewes & 2 rams with the plans to continue growing in the future. My flock consists of an array of genetics spread throughout Canada with Le Biscornu rams as my herd sires.

My main focus in the sheep world is offering quality breeding stock for individuals throughout Canada, though I also do lots with whole animal usage through meat lambs, sheepskins, skulls, and custom tanning, as well as offer raw fleeces twice a year along with a handful of finished wool products.
