John and Eadie emigrated from England in May of 1990. By June of 1991 they had their first 67 commercial ewes on rented pasture. In April 1993, John and Eadie purchased the Metcalfe family farm from Eadie's parents, south of Norwood, in Peterborough County, Ontario.

In 1996, John and Eadie were one of five farms selected to take part in the Ontario Lamb Improvement Breeding Strategy as Replicating Breeders. Their first shipment of 48 OLIBS ewes arrived in December, 1997, and by November 1999, they had enough OLIBS ewes to sell their previous commercial flock and breed strictly from the OLIBS flock.

In November 2000, John and Eadie implanted OLIBS ewes with Texel embryos in an effort to provide health matched terminal sires for complete commercial breeding stock packages. To add to this small flock, they have also purchased 127 Texel embryos from New Zealand. These embryos were implanted in September 2001 and the resulting lambs were born in February, 2002. The 38 ewes and 26 rams give them an excellent foundation for their purebred flock.
