Over the years, I have selectively cross-bred in order to improve the size, disposition, and confirmation of my sheep, but uppermost was my effort to improve the wool. Each sheep is kept blanketed and protected from sun and rain. After shearing, each fleece is expertly skirted, so that areas containing soil or vegetable matter are removed from the fleece, leaving only the very best, purest, and cleanest of the wool to be offered for sale. Though each fleece is carefully skirted, it is impossible to avoid some dusty tips because the sheeps' trails are so dusty in Summer. However, these dusty tips wash out readily, leaving no damage to the wool.

Some of the photos of the white fleeces show a yellow cast that is not present in the actual wool. Lanolin in the wool apparently gives a yellow caste to the photos, but the wool will wash out to a brilliant white.

If you are interested in purchasing an item, just mention the sheep by name. I will need your shipping address (including zip code) in order to figure the shipping cost.
 
Once I know the shipping cost, I can email you the total cost of wool and shipping. I accept PayPal or money orders. When I receive your payment, the package will be mailed out within one or two days by priority mail.
 
Feel free to email me if you have any questions.
