The Black Sheep is a small flock of outstanding colored Lincoln, Lincoln/Corriedale crossbred sheep to which a few Romney have been added.

The length of a Lincoln fleece (can be 12-15 inch staple) makes spinning a joy.

- Noah’s Landing (Susan Sivey) Shreve OH
Border Leicester/Blue Faced Leicester sheep. Both types of sheep are known for their long curly lustrous and usually white locks with the Blue Faced Leicester sheep having finer wool than the Border Leicester sheep. Noah’s Landing sheep are crosses with a little bit of something else thrown in as half are white and the other half of the sheep are grey. The locks are usually from about 6 in. to 9 in. Besides spinning the locks are used for Santa beards and doll hair. The fleeces are very open and easy to prepare for spinning.
Shearing is usually done in May. 2008 fleeces are $6 per lb for entire fleece, $8 per lb for partial fleeces. 2007 fleece $4 per lb. Washed wool $16 per lb.
