It’s Iron Water Ranch’s 5th Lamb & Fleece Summer Sale and it is set to be the best yet. They will have fleeces and fiber for sale, lambs available for sale and pickup, and classes for those looking to learn something new!
Saturday, July 22, 11:00 AM-4:00PM
Sunday, July 23, 10:00AM-3:00 PM
Their summer sale is all about showcasing their hard work throughout the year! Typically, this sale would be hosted in May but due to a bit of a later lambing season, they are doing it in July this year.
If you are on their list to get lambs, this is a great weekend for pick ups! Shepherding 101 which covers basic care of your new flock will also be hosted during this event so be sure to register soon!
There will be gorgeous fleeces, yarn, dryer balls, and all manner of fibery goodness available. Also available will be purebred lambs and fiber animals to go home with you and grow beautiful wool.
