Ian Stewart, a semi retired New Zealand farmer will return to the US to judge the OFFF Sheep shows as well as the Raw Fiber Wool show. Ian is well known to many shepherds across the US as he has spent 15 years traveling to farms throughout North America. He has a long time association with colored sheep and fiber and is a contributor to the Black Sheep Newsletter. He has judged many sheep shows in NZ and recent wool shows at Rhinebeck NY. His unique personality and perspective should make for a fun and interesting show!

Our Mission is to exhibit and demonstrate the full spectrum of natural fibers (plant and animal), from beginning to end.
That is, from the animal or raw fiber to the finished product.
