Shepherd’s Cross processes wool in the on-site mini-wool mill, with minimal processing & chemical free washing.
The Dickinsons shear their own flock, in the original method of shearing described in Isaiah 53:7.
The Dickinsons provide animal husbandry classes, veterinary care and training, wool mill training and Lamb of God Bible studies around the world, through the non-profit organization Heart of the Shepherd that operates on the farm.
The primary instructor for the Small Ruminant Herd Health class is Dr. Diane Dickinson, a licensed veterinarian and a agriculturalist, with over 35 years of livestock and farming experience.
