Thank you Carla for such in depth information! There are two additional points as the requirements are a bit different from ground transport to air transport. ...
Hi Sandy! I am new to Soays, and this was my first year to obtain fleece. I now have two boxes of it and am not sure what to do with it! I've had two ...
county fair went well again this year, with lots of people learning about our breed. the judge liked this years lambs better than last years. so I guess my...
It's so good to hear that you had a good time at the fair!! We keep thinking one of these years we'll find a way to make time to go to the fair. Mainly we...
Hello to all- It's hard to believe but it the rams are starting to get pushy with each other already! Time to start thinking about breeding groups for this ...
Hi again! We still have some sheep for sale, I think about 15 left! Still have a couple ewe lambs and a ram lamb and quite a few adults left. Most the ewes...
clever marketing. I have a shetland ewe that is due to lamb anytime that is bred to a soay. I would gladly take $200 for the lamb well heck i'll even take $20....
No kidding. I guess what constitutes a "breed" is in the eye of the beholder. But in my humble opinion, the very small number of generations behind this...
Well, folks... it's August and we don't have a date or a location yet!! Angela tells me she won't be able to host this year, so as I promised last year I am...
Elizabeth, Hooray to you for volunteering to host GSE in September! Terrific. There are so many new Soay breeders in the Pacific Northwest and it will be...

Meeting at Oregon Flock & Fiber Festival is a GREAT idea. It's a good opportunity to check out other breeds -- not, of course, that there is any doubt about...
These fiber festivals are usually pretty sensitive about folks selling their wares through unofficial channels at the event. OFFF has a "parking lot" sale for...
The Clackamas County Fairgrounds has some lawn area with picnic tables. Perhaps one of us "locals" (me?) could get there in the morning and commandeer a...
I'm sure if we meet at a picnic table outside, there is no problem bringing our own refreshments. Personally, with all my food allergies/sensitivities, I'll be...
To start the tally, at this point we do not have any sheep to deliver or pick up at the gathering. Steve and Priscilla Weaver, Saltmarsh Ranch Soay Sheep...
