About the Farm
Background
Mackenzie Fields has a long-standing passion for wool, consistently refining and expanding their flock of registered Rambouillet sheep. Known for their fine white fleece, the farm has earned ribbons for six consecutive years at the Shepherds Harvest Festival, including a Reserve Grand Champion award for their fleece.
Practices
The flock enjoys open pasture alongside a guard llama named Hotrod. Ewes are bred annually to regional and national champion rams, with a focus on wool quality. A significant portion of the flock is covered to protect their fleece, ensuring it meets the high standards of hand spinners. Customers can reserve fleece from specific sheep or purchase roving and ready-made yarns.
The Rest
Mackenzie Fields offers breeding stock for sale and allows customers to reserve fleece from their favorite sheep. The farm's wool is suitable for the finest knitwear and felting, making it perfect for wearing next to the skin.
