About Me

Jared Lloyd: Western, Colorado, United States; For your daily dose of sheep geek and wool freak! Raising Bluefaced Leicester and old hill-type Shetland sheep in the Colorado High Desert. We operate an integrated lamb and wool production outfit with all of our wool being processed in our family mill, and our premium quality, grass-finished lamb (almost organic) through farmers' markets, direct sales to restaurants and to friends and neighbors. I am blazingly anti-NAIS, SFCP, or any other USDA mechanism for the control of our domestic food and fiber production. Socialism hasn't worked anywhere else in the world, and we're mad off our rockers to expect different results here.
