A unique farm with registered Blue-faced Leicester sheep. We have a small flock - 16 sheep only. We are no longer breeding, but if you are looking for BFL lambs, I am more than happy to help you locate breeders. The ewes and ram on this farm were chosen for: fleece luster; fiber strength; consistency of fiber throughout the animal; conformation (I tend to like the sheep to be substantial throughout the back and hind end as well as length of the back). Our sheep have great length without the "swayback"; health. Now that we are not breeding anymore, many of the ewes and wethers here are now getting to the "aged" status and are still bouncing around the pasture in the mornings when they are turned out.
Most of our fleeces are sold online or privately. We have won 1st place in the Bluefaced Leicester division of the MSWF from 2013 to 2022, in 2017 we were Reserve Grand Champion Fleece! If you are interested in clean, lustrous wool with amazing crimp that will create a wonderful draping garment, then contact us for fleeces. Check us out on Facebook (under Margie Smith) or our website: marlindalefarm.net for updated information.
