Emma Bear

We are very happy to announce that Emma has given birth to a big ewe lamb this afternoon. We again have been having a very long spell with no lambs being born. It was thrilling to finally have a lamb born.


Emma and her new baby

Emma is a very special little ewe, I got her as a bummer lamb two years ago from a long time Romney breeder. As a lamb she got pneumonia and so when she gets stressed she starts coughing for that reason she didn't go to many sheep shows but she still is one of the friendlist sheep in the flock.




Even though it has been two years since she was on a bottle she still believes that the bottle is for her and will actually drink from the bottle if you let her.

Emma's fleece currently being sold in our Etsy shop.


Emma's fleece is very impressive it grows incredibaly fast so her staple length often is around six inches. She produces very heavy fleeces with gorgous crimp. Her wooliness is what got her the nickname of Emma Bear.

We are looking forward to seeing how her lamb grows out and if she has a gorgous fleece like her momma.
