 Big Sky Quality Wool Mill for Sale

Where Wool Becomes a Form Of Beauty

To all of our special customers you know of the losses we have suffered this past year.  We thought that as time passed we would be able to carry on, not so!

With Rebecca's added responsibilities at home, Charlotte's and my own added responsibilities we are just not able to keep up.

As much as we hate to do it, it is time to get realistic and put Big Sky Quality Wool Mill up for Sale! Below is a list of equipment.

The orders that we currently have we will get these finished and back to you.  We will consider as time permits to continue processing until the mill is sold.

We would love it if someone would just come to Broadus and purchase the Mill.  We have placed several ads but if you know of someone that might be interested in buying our equipment please let us know.

Sincerely, The Ladies of the Mill, Rebecca, Charlotte and Carla

 

 

We are back at work!  We are trying to get all the orders out as soon as possible.  If you have any questions please feel free to call or email. 
We consider you the customer old and new very important to us but the past 2 months we have been rather preoccupied with some very difficult matters. 
The mill consists of 4 women, one mother (Charlotte), two daughters (Rebecca & Carolyn) and me (Carla).
On April 13th Rebecca's husband Dennis was diagnosed with Liver Cancer on the 29th be went to be with the Lord.
On May 10th Carolyn was found dead at her home.
As you can imagine this has devastated us. 
If we have not responded to a call or email I am sorry.  I will try to keep you posted on your order. 
I am not sure when things at the mill will resume but we will get your order out just as soon as possible.

Where has the time gone

Becky_Ranch_Photos/pestycat.JPGWhile we were trying to shear one of our alpacas this morning, Rusty was trying to help?
SurprisedIt has been awhile since the last blog.  We have gone through sheep shearing.  Carolyn and I, respectively, began lambing in March at our ranches.  We began with 70 degree temps but within 24 hours we had to handle three major blizzard within thirteen days.  We became very creative trying to find a new spot to put the ewe and lambs.  Almost to the point we needed to build shelves to put them.  All is well.  Carla began her lamb in May.  She too had weather conditions to handle: rain, cold, and wind.
     Charlotte and Sarah went to Estes Park Wool Market in June.   This was Sarah's first trip to Estes Park, CO area.  She was fastinated and very interested in all the livestock vendors.  Overall, they did very well. 
     Until next time....have a fun filled summer. R
