For Sale
At the farm starting May 2014 we will have lambs of both sexes, white and natural-colored, for you to choose; some yearling ewes. We also have two proven rams, both pictured.
We plan to be at the NYS Bred Ewe and Ewe Lamb Sale at the Sheep and Wool Festival, held at Rhinebeck in October, to which we have consigned for many consecutive years.
With the New England Sale having pretty much closed, we plan to attend the Great Lakes Sale at Wooster OH in May.
