Sourced from a family farm in Buffalo, Wyoming that has been in operation for 4 generations and raises premium Rambouillet lambs in the mountains and wide open spaces of northern Wyoming. They are committed to sound animal husbandry and sustainable agricultural practices. The sheep are handled with care and raised the way nature intended: on lush pastures, with plenty of clear, clean water. Their dedication to the land and the lambs they produce guarantees that their fiber is among the purest in the world.
