Tower Ranch Alaska

We are now taking deposits on 3 lovely ladies.  Flora, Fauna and Merry Weather are 5 weeks old and just starting their education. Socializing with people is their favorite so far.  These girls are more than just adorable, they will be hardworking guardians and a real asset to the farms who employ them.  Both parents…

Clyde is a purebred Maremma Sheepdog who is currently unemployed now that we have opted to keep his sister. This big love bug has been working with sheep, goats and poultry in a 3 acre pasture with his grandparents who are training him right. Unfortunately both pups are at an age where we have to…

Tower Ranch is pleased to present our new ram, Sonny. In an effort to improve the award winning fleece we produce we have selected a registered Merino produced by Dr. Holland at Knik River Veterinary Services using artificial insemination. Sonny is the progeny of Dr. Holland’s registered Merino ewe and one of Australia’s leading superfine/ultrafine…

It’s been busy around here. Puppies, lambs, and chicks abound. And a kid too 🙂   Einstein has warmed up to human interaction and is quite the charmer. Fleece quality seems to be excellent as well. Is it just me or does Maximus, our Pygora orphan, resemble a gremlin? This little bundle has so much attitude,…

I had to help Betty get these two out but they look both look healthy and perfect. https://youtu.be/T6QhUX-3sHA The little girl has some pretty markings and the little boy was still too wet to tell 🙂 They both have Betty’s sweet fine-boned face. 

A change in circumstances means these two purebred Maremmas are back on the market.  Bonnie and Clyde are learning from Mia and Al what it means to be an LIvestock Guardian.

Every day is busy when you work and farm but it’s a labor of love with all this cuteness around.  Francis is still smiling and as social as a sheep can get. Alice is almost as friendly as Frank, a trait I hope she will pass on to her daughter Melanie.  Felony Melanie has great…

We are shearing this weekend so I need to part with some of my special projects to make room for lots of new and wonderful fleece.     Cormo neck wool, fine and crimpy Neck wool is outside the coat so the tips are dirty and there is some VM  1.5 lbs – over 4″…

Mother Nature may be having her fun with nighttime temperatures dipping well below zero, but the critters are sure Spring is in the air. Alice started the party with a beautiful baby girl who shall be named Felony Melanie. Not long ago we had a dinner party at a friends home where we watched Sweet…
