Raw wool at Dry Creek Ranch and Rabbitry

Sheep are sheared in February and October here at Dry Creek Ranch. The pregnant ewes are sheared in February just before lambing, and the lambs and adult rams are sheared in October before everyone is fed hay for the winter. We have several lots of wool on offer from our 2006 and 2007 February clip. Prices quoted are in Canadian dollars. We accept U.S. and Canadian cheques and international money orders, please email me for the most up to date U.S. and Euro dollar conversion. Dry Creek Ranch also accepts credit card payments from Paypal (see below).

Make payments with PayPal - it's fast, free and secure!
