We are the only sheep and fiber festival in Missouri which is held on a working livestock ranch.

We know you love your pet dogs, and we love them too, but we do have to ask that you do not bring them to the farm.  We can't guarantee their safety around our animals or our livestock guard dogs who tend to view other dogs as a potential threat to their sheep!
