The 2020 fleece reservation page is now updated and complete! Please see the reservation information page for details.
Note - Our shearer suffered a heart attack (he's on the mend) and we've scheduled a replacement to finish the flock. FYI, some fleeces won't be shorn until mid-May.
We're pleased to be an official fiber provider for The Livestock Conservancy's "Shave 'Em To Save 'Em" program!
For any folks who have emailed me concerning fleece and not gotten a reply......... please check your spam filter/file for my email. I answer ALL emails - usually within a day - so if you don't get an answer it's because your question or my reply has gone into limbo.The great majority of our sheep are jacketed during hay feeding season to provide the discriminating handspinner with beautiful fiber free of vegetation. Even uncoated fleeces will contain very little VM.
Fleeces may be purchased whole or divided in half. Half fleeces are always divided from head to tail. Shearing occurs during April as the weather and scheduling allows. Following shearing, fleeces will be available on a first-come, first-served basis
unless reserved. A charge of
$20 per fleece will positively hold a particular fleece for you. This fee will be applied to the final purchase price of the fleece. Final price is determined by fleece weight. Expected fleece weights are listed with each fleece. If a flaw is discovered in a reserved fleece, I will email you as soon as it's discovered.
Free samples - small lock of the fleece - may be requested to confirm color.
Note: If you are outside of the USA, please check with your country's regulations regarding importing RAW fleece prior to purchasing from us. And, additional shipping charges will likely apply.

(ram)
White |  |
5.50" |
Bor.Leic./CVM/Rambou.
Wee Little Guy is a small ram who had a rough start in life but is now hale and hearty and very sweet. Too small to make a sensible breeding ram, he is instead a companion for the big rams and a fleece producer. On the heavier end of medium grade. I almost put him in the long category due to a wide crimp but the fleece handles more like a soft medium. Nice luster for the grade. Some yellow lanolin stain may occur around the lower body. UNcoated but very clean. $15.00 per pound. Full fleece approx. 7-8 lb.
