Yesterday I went to the December Weekend at Mt. Bruce Station in Almont, Michigan.
The owner has a flock of corriedales and jacobs. You can buy handspun, or mill spun yarn made from the wool of her sheep. She also sells alot of other sheep related products. She's not afraid to charge for the handmade sweaters, vests, mittens etc. either. Her location is nearly perfect, about a 20 minute drive from the wealthiest county in the state. We bought our first sheep from her about 8 years ago.
This poor guy was struck by lightening in 2000--so that's what the sign says.
The young shepherds were putting on a Christmas play in the barn. George the ram wasn't cooperating.
The Sheep and Wool festival in the fall, is more heavily attended. It's worth the trip if you live in southeastern Michigan.
