Our flock consists of purebred Corriedale and Corriedale cross ( a few Romney, Lincoln, CVM and Border Leicester) sheep. As shepherds' our goal is produce a beautiful array of quality white, silver, grey, black and other naturally colored raw fleeces for artists and handspinners. We also have roving and handspun yarn available for purchase.

The quality and cleanliness of our fleeces are enhanced by rotational grazing to keep the flock on the best pasture and by the wearing of coats for up to nine months of the year. These practices assure a clean and burr-free wool and help keep sun bleaching to a minimum.

The majority of our fleeces are sold at the Shepherd's Harvest Festival. Our raw fleeces regularly win top awards at this annual regional  event held in Lake Elmo, MN on Mother's Day weekend.  Look for our table next to where the fleece judging takes place.

The sheep have been sheared and lambing is underway. We have begun skirting the fleece and will be posting weight and prices as we progress. We are beginning with the fleeces that have been previously reserved by artisans. The colors noted below are approximate. The description does not neccessarily do justice to the beauty of the naturally colored fleeces. We can send you a sample or, better yet, look for us at the Festival.  Email us if you would like to have more information or want to reserve a particular fleece.

Here's our list of ewes, lambs and rams that produced fleeces. We'll be updating the information as we skirt the fleeces.
