WoolyAcres is our small farm here in south central PA where we raise and breed Corriedale sheep. Other occupants include a flock of White Orpington chickens and two nine Nubian cross goats.
We raise our sheep for wool and meat, the chickens for eggs, and I haven’t figured out what the goats are doing here yet. 
Please subscribe to be kept updated on fleece and lamb sales, animal antics and all the fun pictures I *plan* to take!
What an exciting weekend we had at Maryland Sheep and Wool. I entered 4 fleeces for competition and 3 of them won ribbons. Gabriel, our new Cormo cross ram, swept the awards though. (For those following the saga of bottle-baby Heather, this is her daddy.)
Look what we did today!

Nonny skirts Colin’s fleece. Can you believe all that only weighs 7 lbs!
Had fun taking pictures on this pretty, sunny (but very cool and windy) Saturday.
Come here children, it is time for a story.
Here is a short video of me feeding the two little cuties, Heather and Cocoa.
Here are some images of recent babies from the past month….mostly the bottle babies. Cutie pies all of them!
Heather
One day old
Daphne died today from pregnancy toxemia.
Daphne is very wooly. We could tell here that something was wrong.
Cheerios, our last pregnant doe gave birth today. She had twins this time, both boys. She was such a good mommy– I checked on her around 2pm with no apparent activity. Dave found her at 4:30 in the pasture with 2 completely dried off babies. Much different than last year’s long, drawn out birth that we ended up assisting in (pulling with all my might) to deliver the humongous single she had. Twins are so much easier. On to the pictures….
Cheerios resting in the sunset. She has tucked her twins around her.
Last night I had two kids in the house, one on purpose and one not so much.
Serena with Chex. Serena is NOT impressed!
After all the excitement at 1pm with Poptart, we did it all again at 4pm! Cassie said she heard some hollering outside so we quickly went out and found Toffee Twins in a mud patch in the barnyard. We quickly put them into a stall, scrub-a-dub-rubbing while we went.

Here are some quick pics of Poptart’s twins. She had a boy and a girl about half an hour ago. The girl has her matching folded ears. They got to wear the new wool lamb coats first! More pics later when everyone is dried off and lively.
