Sheep Flock
Here at Wolston Farms we raise our sheep primarily for their wool,
which we make into a wide range of
products and also sell as roving, batting or at shearing time as whole
fleeces. We
have small purebred flocks of Scottish Blackface, Romney and Shetland
sheep with the rest of our sheep being mixed breed.
We care a great deal about
providing the best possible environment for our animals
and hope to eventually converting our flock to organic production. First
we have
to get the pastures on our
farm regenerated and producing
enough feed and hay to support the flock, finish our re-fencing and get control
of some bacterial and worm problems endemic to this area. All our lambs are raised on mothers milk and pasture
grass, no hormones, antibiotics, drugs or artificial supplements are used. Our
sheep have free access to mineral and fresh water year round, during
the winter the pasture is supplemented with grass and alfalfa hay and a pelleted
grain mix.
Currently we occasional
sell live sheep to others
looking to start or expand their flocks or for use
in training herding dogs. The full range or our wool products including
roving, wool pillows, wool sculptures and
much more are all available through our Sheep Thrillz
web site. For sheep lovers we also have a range of
note cards and
other sheep centric products on our Sheep
Thrillz site.
