These are our four Wensleydale sheep. The only ones in entire state of Alaska!

They arrived Alaska July 2006 and have grown like weeds! These gorgeous brown boys arrived our farm June 2007 Hopefully spring 2008 we will have little lambs, the first ones ever born in our state! 
Above is our ram lamb, we call him "Wambo". Pic is taken May 07. 
And this is "Weccu", our sweet wether lamb. Pic is taken May 07. They are both 87% Wensleydales I will add here soon more up to date pictures! 
Wensleydale fiber is absolutely beautiful and soft as a silk! 
Wensleydale wool is the finest and most valuable luster longwool in the world! Fleeces are entirely kemp free as a result of the unique characteristics of the wool-producing follicles. |

Our sheep (and Angora Goats) are also part of
the Voluntary Scrapie Flock Certification Program
Scrapie is a fatal, degenerative disease affecting the central nervous system of sheep and goats.
It is among a number of diseases classified as transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSE).
Infected flocks that contain a high percentage of susceptible animals can experience significant production losses.
Over a period of several years the number of infected animals increases, and the age
at onset of clinical signs decreases making these flocks economically unviable.
Animals sold from infected flocks spread scrapie to other flocks.
