I located some Leicester Longwool Sheep earlier this summer here in Indiana. I contacted the lady who said she did have some for sale. We arranged pick up to be on my birthday. We actually ended up getting them the day before which was great since I kept dreaming of the sheep and found myself anxiously awaiting pickup time.

The lamb ram is named Johnny (white) and the ewe is Pearl (black). These sheep are so sweet and pretty. I can hardly wait to spin the fiber.

After looking at a lot of sheep I am glad we decided to choose these. They don’t get excited, even when our dogs bark at them. They come up to us for attention and follow us around when we let them out into the yard.

We need to find a better way to feed them their hay however as it does get in their fiber, especially around their faces.
