 Miss Ellie came to the farm in 2012 from an elderly man who purchased her some time before at a livestock auction for a companion animal.  Due to deteriorating health, he was removed from his home in the country to a nursing home.  Although in good health, Miss Ellie had not been sheered, as the photo shows.  She was hand trimmed and the above picture shows the heavy yellowed lanoline in her wool.  Yes, lanoline oil is extracted from wool for use in lotions.   
 Since being here at the farm, she has lost her shyness and has displayed quite the personality.  This summer, she will be visiting at a camp working with special needs children.
