Groovy Goats Farm

My roses are looking so good this year. I forgot to trim them back I was so busy with lambing and kidding season. But it didn’t stop them from outdoing themselves!

Opening another bag of fleece has become like Christmas presents for me, everyday I don’t know what I’m going to get. Well I have to say I opened this one because Sweetie (Iris x Crookshanks ) my spotted keeper who is one now 1 and will be bred this fall had such incredible fleece. So I thought, maybe it’s not just Sweetie, maybe it’s the ram! So I pulled out Blossoms fleece and started skirting it and examining it she is a cross of Astrid x Crookshanks. And guess what, her fleece is just as incredible in the sense that it is very long for a babydoll 3 and 1/2 to 4 inchs and great crimp all over her body and dense which helps to keep out a lot of hay from getting in the fleece and produces more wool. Now I am excited to pull out Crookshanks fleece! And of course excited to see what other breedings will produce!
If I have sold you a Crookshanks ram or ewe, let me know what their fleece looks like!

Just can’t get enough of this gorgeous spotted ewe lamb, Oaklie, that I retained. And she is finally taking cookies from me!

I think one of the things I like about the white and brown/black spotted is that they still look spotted even as their fleece grows out!

More spot carrier wool, this is from my white spot carrier, Willow.
