We are so glad that you are interested in meeting our Jacob sheep! We would love to show you this lovely animal up close and thank you for the opportunity to answer your questions in person. Tours include information about this threatened breed of sheep. We are members of Jacob Sheep Breeders Association and The Livestock Conservancy. Learn how we care for our flock and how their wool is used to create beautiful products. Guests will have the chance to help feed or offer treats to our ewes and get their hands on live animals as well as wool products like raw, shorn wool, roving, and yarn. These items plus Bellwether Ridge t-shirts and hats are available for purchase after the tour. From time to time, we may have hides or horns for sale as we do not believe in wasting animal products/bi-products. Sheep may also be available for purchase, but we do not sell meat or food products.
