Here at Call of the Wool we are dedicated to the well being of our sheep.
Nestled in the hills of North-Eastern Oregon we breed and raise registered purebred Shetland sheep. Our selective breeding program is designed to accentuate the special and unique qualities of the Shetland sheep. Shetlands come in eleven natural colors and over 30 pattern variations. We strive to preserve the variety of natural colors and fleece types found in the Shetland breed. We specialize in several rare color patterns, which have almost been lost in the Shetland breed. Shetlands are hardy little sheep with lusciously soft fleeces and outstanding fleece length and luster. Shetlands are small in stature, easy to handle and perfect for families. They are sweet and friendly, coming up for attention and wiggling their tails in response to attention.
By buying a CSA share you will become a part of our farm family. You will help to provide healthy living for our sheep. Your purchase goes directly to paying for feed, shelter, and all the small and large niceties, which come with farming. You will also help to provide food and shelter for sheep who can no longer support themselves due to old age or health difficulties.
In summer, our sheep graze on beautiful lush pasture, fertilized with our all-natural sheep manure mulch. During the cold winter nights the sheep are bedded down in a clean dry barn with heat lamps for warmth, fresh straw on which to sleep and all the food they can eat. During this time, we provide our sheep with the best Organic whole grains and locally grown grass hay. They receive a special mixture of grain and vitamins daily, personally developed to enhance health, wool quality and fleece growth. This same mixture provides our pregnant ewes with the right amounts of nutrition to maintain healthy body weight and to provide the developing lambs with enough nutrients to grow into small, but strong, lambs for easy birthing and swift development. Some of our senior sheep require special food and nutrients to help with arthritis in their old age and they are brought into a separate area in the barn where they do not have to compete for their food. Our sheep are shorn with the utmost care and gentleness by our trusted Shearer or by myself.
You will have the opportunity to choose your fiber color(s) from a selection of at least four natural colors. The available selection of colors will be based on the order of your becoming a part of our farm. Based on your fiber selection you will receive a picture with a short history about the sheep who grew your fiber. You will receive e-mail updates at least three times during the year about the sheep, including pictures of the sheep. These might include pictures of the sheep grazing in their pasture, playing in the snow or raising their new lambs.
Share holders will receive their roving or yarn by the end of October, 2009. In plenty of time for Christmas. This makes a great gift!!!
