WLK Silver Stone’s Silver Dollar
We are so thrilled with Silver Dollar. She represents everything we have been breeding for. She has perfect conformation, her fleece is simply incredible. Locked with a micron count of 15.9!! Record breaking in a Suri, but greasy enough not to matt. When you open her up, the bright silver is simply exquisite. … Read More

Water Water Everywhere and Not a Drop to Drink
The importance of something we take totally for granted, water, was brought home to us in a big way this weekend.

As a new member of a country community, I felt that I was somewhat lacking in not be able to put delicious baked goods on my table. A bunch of ripened bananas hung on the counter and I was inspired.
