Cheviot ewe and lamb - this photo won first place in our breed's Best of Breed photo competition a few years ago. The ewe is 3Z, one of our original 5 sheep, and she gave a beautiful fleece all her life, and her genes are in some of our lambs today.

Tonya's book is very complete - and the cover is really special! It isnow on sale at Amazon.com

Spring at the Abbey of Regina Laudis - This is the only photo shown that was not taken on our farm. Mother Jadwiga is the shepherdess of the Abbey and a dear friend. Here she is gathering her ewes to go into the shelter at night. This photograph took first place at the Garden State Sheep Brreders Show.

Winter time on the Farm - The flock gathers around a hay feeder in the pasture. This was one of our favorite Christmas cards.
