Windswept Farms
Spring 2009

Spring officially arrived early at Windswept Farms this year. Windswept Tina Turner gave us the first spring lambs out of Red Ram Billy Joel on February 26th! We started the season off with a beautiful white/dark brown spotted ram lamb (yuglet flecket socket) and a lovely fawn ewe lamb.

Our shearing day was just two days later on February 28th. We sheared 55 sheep and enjoyed many farm visitors throughout the day. Thanks to everyone who stopped by and especially to those who were enlisted to help out!

Mike has been spending these early spring days skirting and evaluating our 2009 fleeces. He has just completed this process, and the new fleeces are now posted on the website. We have some absolutely beautiful wool available for handspinners!

Heather has been on lamb-watch for the past month. We are about halfway through with our spring lambing- so far the ram lambs are ahead by 3! Lambing has been moving at a slow, calm pace this year. We should be finished up by mid-April. Once again this year we will have a diverse array of Shetland colors and fleece types!

We are all looking forward to the real spring weather and the fresh green grass....

Our 2009 Wool Clip is now available!
