Bear Creek Barn Coat

The Bear River in Wyoming is a critical, high-elevation waterway known as the largest river in the Western Hemisphere that does not empty into an ocean, ultimately flowing into the Great Salt Lake. You’re one of the 522 people living in Bear River, you’re a farmer raising merino sheep for merino wool for the textile trade. How warm and wonderful. Your rolling hills farm sits on the banks of Bear Creek, a tributary off the Bear River. In your flock, 20 Merino sheep have passed the year mark from their last shearing, and it’s time for their haircut. It is a cold crisp morning, after coffee you grab your new Bear Creek Barn Coat, made of tough 100% oxford weave cotton with DWR, lined with soft flannel, faux suede collar and pocket welts. You look good in it for sure, eh?  You let out your dog Koda to herd the flock into the shearing stations. Lots of chaos and bleating from the herd, a fun day with plenty of excitement and of course beautiful wool. It does not disappoint.
