Blue Goose Glen Farm
Border Leicester Sheep
Blue Goose Glen Farm was founded in 1995 at the
marriage of Perry and Glenda Burrows when we relocated to the community of Blue
Goose, Tennessee. The glens that rested between the rolling hills were
impressive and, of course, the term 'glen' represented in my bride's given name
--- Blue Goose Glen was the only farm name option!
Even though we still had sheep of other breeds in 1995, including champions of other breeds, the multi-purpose Border Leicester was becoming our dominant focus and breed of choice by that time.
Coyotes and stray, wild dogs populated the area, but our
Great Pyrenees companion-guard
dogs
quickly remedied that problem for us as well as our elderly widow neighbors
and became our gentle giant canine companions.
We came to realize that our sheep, wool, equipment, products, and Great Pyrenees (which we breed on a very select basis), was a nice income stream for a couple of school teachers --- and Glenda needed to "retire" early from her years with the little ones.
We offer numerous services to our friends that include:
