Sheep
Posted On 02/11/2008 11:28:56 by KnitFreak

I found some sheep!!!!! Been looking for some good fiber critters. Have checked for Lincolns, Columbians, Coridales and Merinos.


Nice quality fiber sheep.....surprised myself and found two rare breeds w/ a breeder in Michigan.....one is the CVM sheep...California Variable Mutant sheep. North American sheep. Finnsheep is the other. Finns have a nice wool for spinning, are smaller and can deliver 3-4 or more lamb...they even refer to them as litters. lol......


Hmmmm....took the weekend to research all the breeds I'm interested in and the Finns have won! Late summer I'll be getting some Finnsheep! Totally cool!


That's 3 different fibers on the farm come fall...actually 4 forgot the alpacas. Llamas, angoras, sheep and alpacas....what spinning fun to have!


Afterthought.....Our angoras are due March 15th. Haven't had new younglings on the farm in a few yrs. Excited to say the least!
