Ten types of wool for the breeds study:Bluefaced Leicester, Cormo, Shetland,
Scottish Blackface, Merino, Icelandic,
Border Leicester, Wensleydale, Jacob, Lincoln
Working with these different wool breeds is wonderful. All of them are very different and have their own unique characteristics.

Where did you get those ewes from! I'm glad to see you are still alive and doing well!
Hi Garrett...the ewes came from Kelly Ward. They are very nice. They came already bred. We choose the ram that we wanted them bred to, then went back two months later to bring them home. Very excited to see the lambs. How's Bea and Clover?
Those are beautiful ewes! I'm glad Garrett asked where they came, that was my question too. I can't wait to read about your lambs in the spring.
