 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.

Oh my gosh
WinkHi all,
Did not realize how long it has been since the last post.  Summer is almost gone.  We have been unidated with grasshoppers this year.  They are so distructive they elimiated some special herbs in my garden over night.  Cry  But they have not eaten the summer squash, pumpkin or melons. Laughing 
Our school will begin in five days.  Going to see if we can setup a tating class for the home ed class this year after they tour the mill.
Speaking of mill we are consistently busy.  Not complaining, mind you, it is absolutely wonderful. Spending more time in the processing section. I'm the one who is a little behind....since I run both the card and servo. 
Carla had a family reunion - well over 100 in attendance a week ago.
Carolyn had some health issued with her rams....a learning experience for all of us.  An over amount of protein from koishia weed.  All is well now!Smile
Charlotte is mothering some 30 keets (baby guineas).  Oh my are they small and sure cute.  They are treated differently then chicken chicks.
