Our farm is located in the beautiful Willamette Valley of Western Oregon. Lots of water and lush pastures helped us to choose this area to raise our unique herd of sheep. Through our breeding program we have developed crossbred sheep with exceptional spinning fleeces. Many awards have been won over the years at the Blacksheep Gathering in Oregon and Big Sky Fiber Arts Festival in Montana. Our sheep are covered all year around to protect their fleeces from weather and foreign matter.
Shearing is done once a year, approximately one month before lambing.
It is hard work, but has become a fun family get together. Our boys do most of the physical work, doing the handling and removing the sheep coats. My husband and granddaughters then re-skirt, roll, and bag each fleece. In the next couple of weeks each fleece is unrolled, re-skirted, hand picked of foreign matter, graded, and are finally ready for your spinning pleasure. Each summer lambs are offered for sale from our spring lamb crop.
