Flock Size: 85 Ewes and 5 Rams, >75% of flock Navajo-Churro. We do have 1 Rambouillet Ewe and a few mixed Rambouillet/Navajo-Churro ewes. We plan to get more of our flock registered this spring. We are lambing this May and goal of sustaining a flock of approx 200.

We started our flock of Navajo-Churro when we lived in SW Colorado (Del Norte) in 2019. (6 years)

N-CSA is important in order to keep breed standards, genetic knowlege, to learn from each other best ranching/shepherding practices, to encourage each other to honor the land and animal, to educate on the cultural history of the breed and protect it.

I believe I can help with educating and encouraging making value out of the wool. We have connected with some great fiber artists who love Navajo-Churro wool. I have learned how to make various felted rugs which can bring in 200-600$ per fleece. We also have felted mats created with the wool which we turn into wool sponges, wool coasters, etc. The horns can be used to make napkin holders, jewelry, spoons. Value-added products are what make our business profitable. I also really enjoy making artistic videos with Navajo-Churro in pasture environment. I am active on social media and can perhaps assist with some marketing or awareness events.
