10am-3pm

Sue Ann, AKA The Sassy Ewe has a wonderful touch with wool dyeing.
Known for her bold, true colors. Sue Ann's Hand-Dyed and Hand-Spun Wool is a
favorite with our local Spinners and Knitters.

Remember, The Sassy Ewe specializes in both Karakul and Southdown fibers.  

Karakul is a soft, super fast, felting fiber.  Southdown is a decadent, hugable, wool.

Don't miss out on the fun!  Come on out and join us!

You will find The Sassy Ewe at:

Osceola County Fairgrounds
101 Recreation Avenue
Evart, MI  49631

The Life of a Shepherdess - Seasons... and Ewes for Sale

Summer passed quickly.  As time goes by the summers seem shorter and shorter.  The wisdom of the "Old Timers". Yes?  It isn't as though they didn't warn us!

I sent some of my "gals" for a visit to another Southdown Breeder last fall.  (Wink. Wink.)  Had a friend stop by her place to see the kids.  She snapped this photo, along with others, to let me see my sheep. I really missed them. Sheep really do know their Shepherds - and Shepherdesses.

Now the year is drawing to a close.  The holidays are rapidly approaching.  

Things are quieting down.  Well, a bit.    

Herd management is an important part of raising sheep.  I work hard and am proud of my herd.
With that said, I am offering some of my Southdown Ewes and lambs for sale.  All of them are eligible for registration with the American Southdown Breeders Association.

The one year old Ewes are $250/each. They have not been exposed to a ram, yet. 

Bred Southdown ewes are $325/each.

Ewe lambs are $200/each.

The Sassy Ewe is located in Barryton, Michigan.

Consists of Sweater, Hat, and Booties. $50/per set. Each set is made-to-order and requires a 50% deposit. Hand-dyeing is available for a charge of $10/set.
