If you can recall old Christmas movies, imagine Santa’s curly white beard. That was likely made from Leicester Longwool fleece. The Leicester Longwools are a rare, heritage breed of sheep. This year, they took center stage at the Wisconsin Sheep & Wool Festival with their card grading event. Aby Breed chaired the event. She says this evaluation is important for breeders to learn how to keep those true Leicester Longwool traits in their flock.

Bruce Peterson Fair Oaks Farm- Fon du Lac County Century and Sesquicentennial Farm

Rick Zemlicka’s family sesquicentennial farm in Iowa County, has been a cornerstone of his heritage since his great-great-grandfather purchased the original 80 acres in 1874. Arriving from Bohemia with his parents in 1860, his ancestor expanded the farm to 320 acres over the years. The original farmstead included basic buildings and facilities for a modest mixed operation with cows, pigs, chickens, and a large garden. Despite facing significant challenges, including the tragic loss of his great-great-grandfather’s oldest son in 1895 and hardships during the Great Depression, the farm has persevered. Rick’s great-grandfather rebuilt the barn and house in the early 1920s, and these structures still stand today. Rick reflects fondly on childhood memories, such as playing near his father’s plowing and enjoying time with cousins in the creeks. The farm remains a vital part of his life, and he hopes it will continue to be passed down to future generations.
