Junior Member
Junior Member raises Leicester longwool sheep in Bristol, VT, in Addison County near Burlington. Olivia Gordon has managed the flock for over a decade following established registry standards and prioritizing annual health screenings for each sheep. They graze on hillside pastures using a rotational approach that supports grass regeneration and encourages natural flock behavior.
Daily handling from lambing through shearing fosters calm, well-socialized sheep accustomed to light foot traffic and routine checks. Shelter in a post-and-beam barn with ample straw bedding keeps the flock comfortable during Vermont’s colder seasons. Their fleeces are noted for consistent crimp and long staple length, appealing to hand-spinners and small-scale fiber artists.
The farm integrates traditional husbandry with careful record-keeping, documenting bloodlines to maintain flock integrity over successive seasons. Junior Member’s quiet dedication has earned acknowledgment among regional shepherds for consistent wool quality and sustainable land stewardship.
