Hello 2018!

January, February, and March 2018 News Letter

​Hello to you! We have been working with some crazy weather here at the ranch. We were in the sixties during January. February was warm until half way through and then we were down in the thirties. We are looking forward to March and all that it offers to bring us, including new Lambs! For now, we have completed shearing and included our wool show and farmers market schedules.

The 2018 Wool Crop

​Sheared, skirted, weighed, and slowly being updated to our website www.AnnaGotWool.com Wow what a difference in the quality of fleeces this year.  With such a mild winter the fleeces are exceptional.  We sheared 97 sheep and only 5 fleeces were pulled Not For Sale due to a wool break, or other issues.  Whereas, last year being so wet there so many problems with the fleeces at least a 1/3 of the fleeces did not make the grade.
Picture
​If you are in the area you should plan a stop at the Wool Room on the ranch.  A photo just doesn’t do justice to the fleeces.  There are so many beautiful Natural Colored fleeces:  black, chocolate, shades of gray from charcoal to deep blue grays.  Light heather grays to oatmeal and there is a large selection of variegated grays, tri colors black , white and gray all in one fleece a spinners dream.  Dark and light morits.  Not just white but bright white a dyers dream to get true colors.  We have fine wool, medium and luster long wools.  Something for any fiber project you might have in mind.  We can help you find the prefect fleece and you can meet the ewe that produced it.

2018 Wool Shows

2018 Farmers Markets

Some new dates and new locations.  Take a look at where you can find Harvey Farm fleeces.  We look forward to a new season seeing familiar faces and meeting new fiber artists.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Years!

We are sorry we have been absent...

We want to start out by saying Merry Christmas and Happy New Years as we head into January. 

We have been missing from our monthly news letters because we have a great new surprise for everyone!

​We have added livestock to the ranch and we are just in love with them! See below to help us welcome them!

This is our short and sweet newsletter to end this year. We hope everyone has a beautiful Christmas and Wonderful New Years. We look forward to seeing everyone in the new year.

The New Livestock are here....and they are big!

Okay, they are not big yet but they will be!

The Highland descends from the native cattle of Scotland and is named for the Highland region.  The breed was shaped primarily by natural selection and as a result it is best known for its survival qualities, hardiness, maternal abilities, reproductive efficiency and longevity.  Their long hair gives the breed its ability to overwinter.   The meat tends to be leaner than most beef because Highlands are largely insulated by their thick shaggy hair rather than by subcutaneous fat.

We are excited to introduce Scottish Highland Cattle with our sheep to better utilize our native rangeland.  Highlands consume a wide variety of pest plants as well as grass and brush.  They are considered a "light grazer" in Europe, used to manage and diversify marginal lands without the negative impact seen with heavier breeds.

The two pictured here are Elsie and Louisa, who we call LouLou. Elsie was born in April and LouLou was born in June.

A light Dusting of Snow has Come!

The sheep and goats are always more than happy to get some alfalfa even when there is snow on the ground. 

The snow came in late December and was light but enough to cover the ground. It was just perfect for us because we were still able to drive around with out having to plow.

Art and Ag trails was a Success!

 What a great group of ladies thank you for all that you do.  Judy Heydon- needle felting, Anna Harvey Sheep Wrangler, Janet Baldridge-Master Spinner, Michelle Haselton-Pineneedle Basket Artisan, Sally Wise-Weaver & Spinner, Shannon Harvey-Wool Room Monitor What a fun day over 500 guests visited our ranch that day.  We sold out of our Family Basque Chorizo.  We have decided to make it available at our farmers markets for next year.  Our 9-Step Wool Processing was well received and we had a lot of great questions over the course of the day.  The self guided sheep trail was a hit as usual but the guardian puppies stole the show.   Mark your calendars for next year. 

Fall is in full swing on the Ranch!

Picture
Bethany, Belle, Annie and Oakley are enjoying the "Indian Summer".  We are excepting little crias late spring early summer.

The Bees are headed towards warmer weather.

Picture
The bee keepers informed us that they had a record clean out with the hives on the property.  The bees were very health, the colony grew no mites or dieses.  They were very happy bees.  We are looking forward the having them back in the spring.  We got a smack'role  of honey but are waiting so patiently for those beautiful golden jars of Westside Honey.

New Additions to the Ranch...

We have some exciting news!
​
We have Puppies!

One of our beautiful guard dogs gave birth to a large liter of puppies at the end of August. They are a Maremma sheep dog mixed with Anatolian Shepard and Great Pyrenees. It is safe to say that these are going to be some large dogs when they grow up!

Our guardian decided to keep on guarding and have her puppies under our large barn where they would be safe. We tried to get some great pictures for everyone to enjoy and we plan on having more once they start to come out

Monterey County Fair Results

It was the 38 Annual Wool Auction at the Monterey County Fair.  I believe it is the only live auction in California.  The rain showers in the early hours forced the wool show managers to relocate the auction over towards the livestock area by gate 6.  It was covered and protected from the rain and sun.  68 beautiful fleeces entered this year and there were plenty of buyers and ALL of the fleeces sold. All of the Harvey Farm fleeces  placed in their divisions.  We had the Reserve Champion Breed Fleece.  It was "Georgia" one of our lovely Rambouillet ewes.

New Event Venue!

Picture
We have some exciting news!We are excited to announce that we will now be using part of the property as an event venue! 

There is enough room for over 200 guests. A beautiful outdoor kitchen to use. The back drop is a large meadow and a forest surrounding.

We are in the midst of working on a website for it but we do have brochures and information for any one curious. Just give us a call or an email!

Hay Delivery in August


It has been busy here on Harvey Farms. We received our hay delivery to make it through the winter. The sheep were more than excited along with the alpacas to see some yummy food being delivered.

Happy Independence Day

​We hope that everyone had a great 4th of July. We are proud to be an American. We are so blessed to live in America and have the freedom to own and operate our own ranching business.  We fly our flag in honor of all the men, women and families that have sacrificed for us.  Thank you for your service.

Gold Discovery Days - Mo & Jo will be there, Will You?

Mo and Joe will be up at the Plumas Eureka State Park on Saturday.  Come by and pet them and feed them some treats.

They both even got baths to help welcome everyone to the event!

Summer Heat

​We are definitely feeling the summer heat.  The sheep and dogs are out grazing well before 6:00am and seeking the shade of the pines by 9:30am.  They don’t really start moving again until after 4:00pm.  The yellow tar flowers show their faces only in the cool of the early morning or at dusk.  They close up tight during the heat of the day, trying to conserver their moisture.  I call them tar flowers because the sheep’s noses really do get a sticky tar from grazing amongst the flowers.  A weed that nothing eats but sure is a pretty sight in the summer.

Keeping the Sheep in Coats

​The boys are putting coats on our replacement ewe lambs.  The coats help keep the stickers and burrs out of their wool.  The coats also keep the ends of their wool protected from the suns harsh rays otherwise it fades and becomes brittle.  Making a less desirable fleece for the hand spinners.  In a perfect world four coat changes would be all a sheep needs to accommodate their growing wool.  But out here there are so many things to rip, tear and shred their coats.  It seems we are always changing torn coats for patched coats.  It seems like a full time job.
Picture
This coat has become more of a scarf.

2017 Farmers Market Schedule

The Alpacas got a Shave!

​It was a full groom day for the alpacas! We are now up to 14 alpacas! They all were groomed the other day which entailed shearing them, trimming toe nails, getting wormer and recieving vaccines. The shearers have a special table that they are strapped to and then laid down on the side. The table does all of the turning so it does not stress the alpacas by having to flip them on the ground, they simply relax on a table while they are taken care of.

Diddly, one of the older alpacas, decided to take a nap on the table, we decided he enjoys getting pampered very much. It took about 4 hours to get everyone cleaned up and we had a handful of helpers which was wonderful! 

We will be making a 50/50 blend of the alpaca fiber with some of our Rambouillet fiber into a lovely 2 ply DK weight yarn to sell at the farmers market and in the wool room on the ranch.  So be sure to look for it.



BEES! Harvey Farms Newest Addition!

 Two years of talking about putting bees out here and now thanks to Patty Spiller and Gary McClaughry we have 25 bee hives on the property.  When I walk down to the barns in the evening to put the chickens up for the night, feed the guardian dogs and close the gates on the sheep I pass by the hives.  It almost feels like the ground is moving with all the buzzing activity.  It's so exciting.  Now we wait to taste the "Westside" honey.  Harmony Ridge will be selling it at our local farmers market next year.

The Sheep are Out and about!

The sheep are now out and about grazing on the range. They are let out of their pens in the morning and guarded by our trusty guardian dogs. They then return in the afternoons to get put away to protect them from critters at night. The dogs lead them around various portions of the property as they graze and always bring them home at night. The sheep are very happy to have fresh green grass.

We have a small group that stays in our enclosed pastures because their babies are too young to go out with the others. They are still very happy to be let out on the beautiful green pastures.

Local 4-H Member and our Yarn

Jade is in her 4th year with the Treasure Mountain 4-H group. She is working on her project for the Plumas-Sierra fair and this year the theme for the fair is Art to Ag.

She is doing her project on natural dying.  Jade came out to the ranch and we loaded her up with with Romney fiber: raw wool, roving and yarn to experiment with dying.
When asked , why did you decide on this project. She said because I thought it would be interesting to see what colors I could make and finding different things to make the different colors.  She has experimented with sage, beets, black beans, lettuce, manzanita flowers, cottonwood buds, and turmeric.  She was most surprised with the color that was made by using sage.  She was expecting more of a silver color because that is the color of the plant but instead it produced a beautiful yellow.  She was disappointed with the color from the manzanita flowers she was hoping for a pinkish color but instead a yellowish, greenish, brown was produced.

She will be doing a presentation on her project at the Plumas~Sierra fair this year from August 9-13th.  We will follow up on the progress and wish her the best of luck at the fair.

The Pangora Goats Got a Shave!

The two pangora goats who we bought last year needed a hair cut pretty bad.

The two boys, Mini Oreo (Mo), featured above, and Jo were happy to shed their long hair and feel a few pounds lighter. We are excited to say that they both did beautifully but also that we learned that Mo likes to nibble on ear lobes and noses.

They are no enjoying having their own stall in the barn to keep them warm on these snowy April days and also getting lots of "special treats".

Lambs, Lambs & More Lambs.

 As we near the middle of April we are starting to wind down with our lambs being born.

The lambs from January and February are more than happy when the hay is put in the feeder, they all rush it and even try to push their moms out of the way. They can be seen in the couple of pictures below

We have a couple more ewes to give birth until we are totally finished.

The picture to the right is a new lamb that was born at the end of march, being weighed. This particular lamb was about 10.5 pounds.

Warm Weather

Picture
We are excited to say that we have had some beautiful sunshine on the ranch.

The alpacas, chickens and lambs all got a special guest visitor from the neighborhood once it was warm enough. Hunter is a local boy who got to feed the alpacas, hold a lamb and a chicken and enjoy the ranch while he visited with family friends. He also learned how to handle the animals and how to take care of them. He had a very fun time.

Wool is for more than just Spinning...

A few months back a young lady named Miranda McFarland contacted me looking for wool.  Miranda is a senior at Sierra Nevada College, majoring in Fine Art. For her senior project, she is working on converting her bus (Juanita) to mobile art van while focusing on sourcing material through her local community.  Miranda came out to the ranch and I was happy to donate a car load of fiber for her project.  I knew she had her hands full just getting the fiber ready to use.  It all had to be washed, dried, and carded before she could even begin her felting.
                       
Her first plan was to use the felted wool as insulation in the walls of Juanita.  While Miranda started dismantling the bus, she found that the walls had already been insulated. So she decided to leave it as it was; now her new plan is to use the wool for felted rugs and bedding for the bus.

You can see more of Miranda’s work by following her on instagram @juanitasmobilegallery or checking out her BFA Show coming up this April 2017
Title:  “in,sight.”
When:  Install from April 6th-14th, Opening & talk April 13th 5:00pm
Where:  Garage Door Gallery, Holman Art & Media Center, Incline Village, NV  89451
Description:  “People gonna be good. Practice your awesome. Girl. Actually you know, don’t you?! Crazy people we belong! Understand the flow, dance to babe. Play you, for that feels good”…If you have read this subliminal message, you are officially invited to “in,sight.”
