November 2021

Hey, Friends! Here’s what’s happening on the farm this month!

Home From the Fair
We are just home from SAFF (Southeastern Animal Fiber Fair)! The sheep did really well and we are super proud. Some highlights are:

• Daisy and Loretta won 1st in Shetland Pairs,
• Melly won 1st in white Longwool,
• Ro won 2nd in natural color Longwool.

We won 3rd in fleece off the sheep as well as many 3rd, 4th, 5th, and sixth places. It was a lot of fun to be with our sheep family and meet so many new friends. A few sheep came home with an upper respiratory bug, so our very own Vet Scott got to make a visit and treat everyone.

Farm News
Jonathon and Charlotte were just here for shearing! 36 bags! We appreciate wholeheartedly all their hard work and talent!
​
Our Leicester Longwools have been put together for breeding season! Hopefully if all goes well we will have our first LLs born at the end of March. ​

We are taking a break this year from breeding the Shetlands but we did bring home a handsome Shetland ram for next year! His name is Frazier and he is a sweetheart, with very crimpy fleece.

We will have Satin Angora bunnies available soon so reach out if you’re interested in having a beautiful soft and shiny white bun bun.❤️
