Late Bloomer Ranch

Late Bloomer Ranch breeds Leicester Longwool sheep in Driggs, ID, in Teton County and the Teton Valley near Jackson. The ranch has more than ten years of experience, participates in regional wool producer associations and follows recommended health screening for parasite control and genetic conditions. Lambs are raised on rotational pasture, receive daily handling from the family and mature sheep enjoy a mix of open fields and sheltered barns.

The soft fleece from its flock is sought after for community knitting workshops and local fiber arts events. Corinne Mcandrews, who manages grazing schedules against mountain slopes, aims to maintain a low-stress environment that reflects traditional sheep farming in the region. Animals graze on diverse forage mixes and boost soil health under a rotational system designed to support pasture recovery. Stock is selected for both consistent fleece density and gentle temperament, aiming to nurture animals that work well for small fiber artists and family flocks.
