In 1988 and 1989 the Arcott sheep (Canadian, Outaouais, Rideau) were released to nucleus flock owners assigned by the Canadian Sheep Breeders Association. Twenty three flocks across Canada received 1 160 ewes and 89 rams (400 Canadian ewes, 480 Rideau ewes and 280 Outaouais). There were also 200 to 300 pure-bred ewes sold at public auction across Canada in 1989.
