The sheep

We have a herd of sheep of about 90 ewes and 5 rams. There are several different breeds of sheep. The ones we have are texel, fine wool and leicester, both separately and crossed with each other.

Fine wool sheep is a pretty breed and as the name suggests, they have very fine wool. It is soft and cuddly and you can use it to, among other things, felt

Texel is a meat breed and therefore grows relatively fast. Their wool is wadding-like and works well as padding or you can dye it and use it as decoration in e.g. Easter Christmas or for needle felting.

We also have some leicesterfårTheir wool is glossy with beautiful curls. It is excellent for both needle felting and wet felting, is durable and produces very beautiful skins. The lambs are born during the spring-winter in our sheep house. A warm and dry bed of straw gives the lambs a good start in life, so that they are well equipped when it's time to go out to pasture at the end of April. The sheep's grazing contributes to the biological diversity of the mule's lands. Lamb meat is available to buy in our farm shop. Both as a lamb meat box and as a detail piece.
