Corriedale sheep are best known for the high quality wool produced on a yearly basis. The fleece of a Corriedale is wonderful for handspinning.

If you are interested in purchasing raw wool, please visit our Fleece page. Our sheep are covered 80 percent of the year, lacking jackets only during lambing season.

A typical year in the life of our sheep begins in mid October when we separate the ewes into different groups based on age, color, and genetics. Each group is then placed with one of our rams and the breeding season begins.

At the end of February our shearer visits the farm and shears all of the sheep. The major belly and neck wool is removed at this time and the fleeces stored for complete skirting on a sunny spring afternoon.

Beginning in mid March and extending until mid April, the ewes are having their lambs.

The sheep then spend the rest of the summer on pasture eating and sleeping. Lambs grow to market weight or are sold to other producers as breeding stock.
