Breeding Stock
Delaine Merino
Delaine Merino's and Debouillet's (a Delaine Merino/Rambouillet cross) produce what is considered to be the best wool in the world. They average a micron range of 18.5 to 23.5 microns. Our Merino's have the most exquisite fleeces! Merino and Merino blends are lovely to spin and also great for all kinds of needle and wet felting projects. www.ansi.okstate.edu/breeds/sheep
Finns
While Finn sheep are known for their prolifacy we chose bloodlines known for a smaller number of births and focused on lines known for exquisite fleeces. www.ansi.okstate.edu/breeds/sheep
The Starshire Flock
Starshire Ranch maintains a flock of about 7 ewes. Lambing usually begins in March. Our Finns and Merino produce beautiful fleeces for spinning as well. The Starshire flock produces exquisite wool for hand spinning, knitting and all your crafting projects. Our Finn's and Merino's are coated so vegetable matter is minimized.
