Hard to believe summer is about half over already. Fairs are around the corner. All the lambs and kids are on the ground, weaned and looking for new homes. There is one registerable Jacob ram lamb left. He's a handsome two-horned fellow with very nice fleece. Also available are a 4-horned and 2-horned proven ewes. Two angora bucklings for sale intact or wethered (one silver, one reverse badger) & there are quite a few Icelandic lambs for sale. This was the year for black and black/grey lambs. I had planned to keep most of the ewes for replacement ewes but unfortunately I never received the registration papers for their sire so I'm selling them unregistered. They have lovely fleeces and nice conformation and will be great additions for a spinners flock.
The bunny barn is busy with babies. There are currently some French Angoras of all ages for sale, with more due soon. I haven't had many English litters lately, so there are mostly Sr. English bucks and does for sale right now. We've had a few litters of some lovely Satin Angoras, coppers, reds and chestnut, they will be available for sale soon. There are currently no Thriantas for sale, if the latest breeding were successful we should have a few litters ready to go by fall.
I will only be attending two fiber festivals this Fall, Endless Mountains in September and Shenandoah in Oct.
Keep checking back... some new fiber critters will be arriving soon!
