Last week, I said “Farewell” to Martha and her pretty daughter, Bonnie II. It was a tough decision, but after observing that Martha’s fleece was once again showing early signs towards water-related fleece rot, I listed her on the Vermont Sheep and Goat Association.

https://sheepandpicklefarm.com/2015/07/11/the-yarn-is-here
Sheep and Pickle Farm. Registered BlueFaced Leicesters and Grade Cormos, raised with love in Vermont. The Yarn is Here! July 11, 2015. July 11, 2015. As the title suggests, the yarn is here! With the significant influence of Earl Scruggs (the ram) from Ruppert’s Corriedales. In Pennsylvania, my yarn is softer than ever. Because I sold a significant amount of fleece raw to handspinners, my yarn run is significantly smaller than in previous years. If you want some, you should act soon! The Miracle of Mowing.

Sheep and Pickle Farm. Registered BlueFaced Leicesters and Grade Cormos, raised with love in Vermont. The Miracle of Mowing. July 28, 2015. Remember the tractor I talked about a little while ago?

I don’t want to have to wake up in the middle of the night to rake snow like we used to do at Fat Toad Farm. I’m so pleased! Mowing in a clockwise direction, index finger in weird position.
