Facebook Page Sponsor a Sheep at Washington Crossing Park As temperatures drop, the Thompson-Neely Farmstead team is preparing for another winter. We welcomed two new lambs to our flock of 13 sheep in July. That may not sound like many, but they require a lot of care – care that is largely supported by generous donors through our popular Sponsor a Sheep program. In addition to foraging 8-12 pounds of grass and plants every day, each sheep at the Thompson-Neely Farmstead needs supplies like hay, grain, and supplemental minerals. They also require veterinary care, medications, fresh straw bedding, and the loving attention of the park’s farmstead manager, Ross. You can help defray these costs by sponsoring a sheep.
