We are members of The Livestock Conservancy and participate in the "Shave 'Em to Save 'Em" program. Qualifying purchases of wool from our flock come with the SE2SE stickers.
We've raised this beautiful endangered breed for over 12 years and have multiple bloodlines. We breed to old type specification and for preservation of Two Grey Hills coloring; and for high quality wool with long staple length (12-18"), low lanolin, fiber strength, and vibrant natural color. Our ewes are amazing mothers that are large volume milk producers, with gorgeous fleeces. Rams in our flock are bred for 2-4 strong horns and excellent wool genetics.
Navajo Churro wool is used for traditional Navajo weaving, due to breed hardiness, low lanolin, long staple and gorgeous vibrant un-dyed colors. Our flocks' wool is softer than typical rug grade and works beautifully for many fiber arts, including modern weaving, felting, locker hooking, knitting, crochet, and much more.
We have lambs, mature sheep, raw fleeces, wool roving, and processed yarn available seasonally. Email: [email protected]
From the Navajo Churro Sheep Association page:
"The Navajo-Churro breed is considered a rare breed. The gene pool is presently large enough to maintain the breed type with the diversity of available unrelated lines. Fortunately for breeders, a well established network of registered stock is available, scattered throughout the US and Canada.These sheep with their long staple of protective top coat and soft undercoat are well suited to extremes of climate. Some rams have four fully developed horns, a trait shared by few other breeds of the world. The Navajo-Churro is highly resistant to disease, and although it responds to individual attention, it needs no pampering to survive and prosper. The ewes lamb easily and are fiercely protective. Twins and triplets are not uncommon. The flavor of the meat is incomparably superior, with a surprisingly low fat content."
