bide a wee farm is nestled in the beautiful Chehalem Valley, about
25 miles Southwest of Portland, Oregon. We raise Jacob and
Navajo-Churro sheep - both considered rare livestock breeds by the American Livestock Breeds Conservancy (ALBC).
We've been raising both breeds since 1994 and are just as enthusiastic about them now
as we were when we first started. Both Jacob and Navajo-Churro sheep are terrific
small farm breeds - they're hardy, disease resistant, prolific and multipurpose; supplying
breeding stock, hand spinners fleeces, locker lamb and pelts.
Included are brief histories of Jacob
and Navajo-Churro sheep, along with sale
lists, photos and pedigrees of the bideawee Jacob
and bideawee Navajo-Churro
sheep we currently have for sale. You can also find photos of
our 2006 Jacob and Navajo-Churro lambs.
Please visit the bide
a wee Store which offers award winning fleeces,
colorful pelts and commercially prepared roving and yarn for sale.
We've also just added a line of
bide a wee farm note cards. For tips and recipes visit our newsletter.
