Sheep on Experimental Farm
Guess what? Ottawa, Canada is the only Capital city in the world to have a working farm right in the middle of it!
And on this farm - among many other things, are sheep.
Sheep provide us with meat, milk, and of course - wool. Most sheep have large, curling horns that are made of keratin, the very same stuff as fingernails. Sheep weigh between 120 - 280 lbs and they grow to as much as 5 feet. They have a lifespan of 6 to 15 years.
And here they are enjoying the good life on The Farm. The Central Experimental Farm was established in 1886 as the central research station for the federal Department of Agriculture. The Farm continues that scientific focus as the location for laboratories and research plots for the Ottawa Research and Development Centre.
The Experimental Farm is also a National Historic Site of Canada and home to Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada headquarters. The Farm and some of its attractions are open to the public throughout the year.
Here you can witness our country’s unique agricultural heritage come to life. A horse and cattle barn, small animal barn, sheep field, dairy barn and energy park are just some of the attractions. T
The Central Experimental Farm is 427 hectares (1,055 acres) of open space .
Major attractions on the Farm include the Arboretum and the adjacent Ornamental Gardens, the Tropical Greenhouse.
The Canada Agriculture and Food Museum is a tourist destination on the Central Experimental Farm. Visit the museum to see exhibitions, artifacts and collections, learn about Canada’s scientific and technological heritage and experience the petting zoo and Farm.
Into its second century, the Central Experimental Farm continues its scientific focus as the location for laboratories and research plots. More than an active research centre and beautiful surroundings, the Central Experimental Farm is a National Historic Site and a taste of rural Canada.
