| Bumblebee Acres Farm ***Welcome to Our Barnyard***
On our little Fiber Farm we have some cute & wooly farm animals. Please come say hello... ~Shetland Sheep~ Ginger a moorit registered shetland ewe.
Ginger lambed on April 30, 2008 and Little Pepper was born. My daughter is bottle feeding her and she is just a total sweetie.

~Cormo Sheep~
Our new Cormo ewes, Princess, Juliette and the color Cormo girl, Coco Chanel. These girls are wearing jackets to keep their fleeces in tip top shape. Cormos have a wonderful fleece that is extremely next-to-the-skin soft. These girls 1st fleece will be especially soft and is reffered to a 'Hogget' fleece. We have a Cormo ram, named Ralphie (from the character in the movie "A Christmas Story"). He is a sweetheart and is fleece Micron count is 18. Soft as can be! ~Alpacas~
Meet AC He is a sweet, full-blooded, Suri Alpaca. Suri Alpacas have crimped, tight curled wool, but in these pictures the Alpacas are shown in their summer shears. Their spring fleeces are incredible. Alpacas are shorn only once a year, in the spring to help keep them cool during the hot summer months.
Autumn, born the 1st day of Autumn 2008. Autumn is a Huarizo.
Winter, born during a cold snap, we call him Winnie the Poo. We wethered him and he is staying here with his gorgeous fleece! A very nice Huarizo
Faline is a Huarizo. She has gorgeous suri wool. Faline is a lovely almond color. Born 2007
~Angora Goats~ Angora goats are the producers of valuable, lusturous, Mohair. Angoras have beautiful headsets of horns, they are useful to the goat and help the goat herder in managing them during shearing time. The goats fleeces are shorn once in spring and once in the fall. ~a cool fact: Mohair is naturally fire retardant, making it great for hearth rugs! Our girls have hopefully (fingers crossed) been bred by our new addition, a pygora buck---Eddie, from Rock Farms. Babies expected April/May. Meet Cricket ~For Sale~ $125 Cricket is a silver black badger face colored Angora Goat. We get beautiful silver fleece from her!
May A cute little Pygora doeling. Born out of Cricket and Eddie Munster (our Pygora buck) May 2010. Pygoras have lovely cashmere type wool.
Nilla, short for Vanilla. She is a sweetie and the 1st one to greet us at the gate.
Coconut!!! Our 2008 Doeling born May 23rd Isn't she just darling?!?!
