Garrett Ramsay
Garrett Ramsay, Leicester longwool sheep, Winslow, IL, in Carroll County and the Rockford area, raises animals focused on breed standards. He follows industry guidelines through regular health screenings, parasite monitoring, and participation in regional sheep breeder associations, including outline-based record keeping for lineage and performance.
The flock grazes on rotational pasture, with sheltered pens that allow ample daylight and fresh bedding during colder months. Garrett emphasizes early socialization by handfeeding lambs and introducing them to handling routines to foster calm temperaments. Each fleece undergoes careful assessment for micron count and staple length, aiming to meet artisan standards.
Integrating a respect for heritage genetics with sustainable practices, Ramsay Farm contributes to small-farm diversity and supports fiber artisans seeking quality fleece. Viewings are arranged at the Winslow homestead by appointment, fostering openness about husbandry methods and animal welfare. Wool is sheared each spring and sorted on-site, allowing personalized selection for handspinners and small-scale mills.
