SHEEP AND WOOL

Sheep and Wool

While we impatiently await the arrival of our remainder of our 8th lamb crop we are reviewing what we want to keep as lambs arrive. We have rams ready for breeding for sale. Keep checking in as we will update you on what is happening once the lambs are all born and we have sorted through them.

For the past few years we have been discussing adding another breed to the farm. We talked to breeders from many farms when we were out and about.

Tunis Sheep are dual purpose. So, yes, we have actually ate one of the sheep we raised. We did this for several reasons. First to see how the meat tasted since it was a ram and we had been told that Tunis meet tasted different from other sheep meat. We are very happily enjoying the products. As a side note, we felt this animal would not be an asset to anyone's breeding program so the end result was to butcher the animal.

We do shear our sheep once or twice a year. Depending upon what you wish to do with the wool impacts if we have a fleece for your needs. Tunis fleeces are usually used for yarn. Our fleeces are quite different from each other so some may appeal to your needs while others may not.
