Shave 'em to save 'em

In spite of all the nastiness PETA is spreading about shearing sheep, there are a lot more good news being spread about the sheep industry.

I am excited to be a part of the Shave 'Em to Save 'Em Livestock Conservancy Initiative (as seen in our header).

We raised Polled Dorset for a number of years, until we met the Conley sisters from Fruitcake Farm in Grafton, NH. We discovered that they raised Horned Dorset and that they were on the Livestock Conservancy's endangered list. To this day, they are still on the threatened list. https://livestockconservancy.org/index.php/heritage/internal/conservation-priority-list#Sheep

We LOVE our Horned Dorset sheep! Great mothers, great wool and friendly. Easy to move from location to location and they come equipped with handles. ;)

As part of this initiative, and as an Official Fiber Provider, we will be offering our Horned Dorset raw fleece, roving and yarn for sale here. And, I just might dust out my Etsy shop....

We will also have raw Baby Doll Southdown by the pound and Shetland roving by the ounce, and yarn by the skein. They are both on the Recovering List.

We have Oxford in king sized quilt pads, and possibly raw fleeces later in the spring, as well as raw Tunis later this spring. They are both on the Watch List.

If you are interested in Navajo Churro, also on the Threatened List, I can put you in touch with one of our shearing customers. She has raw fleece and yarn. We will start shearing her crew March 10th.

I also have Jacob roving and yarn available. They are also on the threatened list.
