Purchase Statement Agreement

As of April 1 2012, when a deposit is placed on any animal, a pickup date is listed on the invoice. If the animal is not picked up at the agreed upon date the deposit is forfeited after 60 days past the agreed pickup date. With the cost of feed and maintenance of the animals it is no longer feasible to hold animals.
Please consider these stipulations when looking at our stock. We are not a large farm and need to make sure our animals are going to owners who are serious about purchasing, so we can enjoy what stock we intend to keep.
Thanks for your consideration

Spring has sprung and we have bottle lambs. This is three of the four we have on the bottle. Two are ewes and the largest one is a ram. All are crosses. Total lamb count as of today 4 rams and 3 ewes. No goats yet.

This little guys was one to many for his mom so he's now on the bottle. She was a first time mom and had twin rams, both are black.

We did two days of demonstrations at Morgan Elementary with K thru 5th grade kids. They we all great kids and listened very intently to what we were showing. The bottle lambs were also a big hit.

This is the brown ram we call Finnigan

This is for one of the white rams #111

This is for the other white ram #131

Farmers Market just around the corner....

The last couple weeks has really given us some nice weather...The Snow was beautiful today but I really don't like the yuck that comes with it...I have a busy game plan the next few days to get lots of sewing done & spin. Isn't long til Farmers market starts up...The new Washington County Artisans & Farmers market has had & will have more winter markets. We will participate in those & will be ready to go come opening April 19th in Pekin, IN at the park....
I had 38lbs of roving come in yesterday from the wool I shipped off a couple weeks ago. Once again Stonehedge Fiber Mill in Michigan has done a really nice job....

Here's one of our white Finn boys that's available.

Another shot of some of the "boys"
Here's a picture of a few of our Finnsheep rams. Most are not "knee knockers" but are still manageable to handle.
