... Yes, we carried too many through the winter. I need to pare the flock down, esp after lambing this spring. Get back to 20-30 ewes. I know about the site,...
Some of the pictures load over the words and almost all of the word placement is way off and in strange places. My daughter just took a look and told me (as I...

I am looking for a couple soay in or around southern Michigan. I have never owned sheep before. We have a small herd of nigerian dwarf goats (and one nubian)...
Welcome to the group Sarah. Sounds like North American Soay would fit the bill for your purposes. If you would like to email me off-list I can give you a...
Hi Sarah, Like you, I wanted only a few sheep to graze an acre and a half of pasture that would otherwise turn to blackberry and Scotch broom, and settled on...
We have just finished lambing and we have quite a number of beautiful lambs (including tan, black, and/or white spotted) and a few adults for sale. Most of...

We had a great lambing season, seven total, four rams and three ewes. Two ended up being bottle fed, they are sweeties. We are in Connecticut, if there is...
Does anyone have experience selling raw fleece or processed yarn? We have just sent our first batch to the mill, and really have no idea how to price the...
We've found a few places that will buy or take on consignment raw, unprocessed Soay wool. That's an option here in Oregon. I'm pretty sure that if you look...
We have 3 male and 3 female lambs for sale. One male is white with brown spots. We are thinking of wethering the other 2 because we don't need that many rams!...
