Speakers
Roxie Emunson
Co-owner and Flock Managers of Wooly Green Grazers, LLC. in Appleton, Wisconsin.Ms. Emunson’s flock consists of approximately 100 sheep, half what they call their grazing team, and the other half are feeders. All the sheep graze a variety of contract jobs from neighborhood yards up to 55 acres. Along with grazing, she breeds Ole English Southdown better known as Babydoll sheep. This breed is what makes up most of the grazing team.
Currently, Ms. Emunson’s two largest contracts include Appleton International Airport and Brown County, WI. The airport contract is in its second year consisting of 15 acres of a conservancy of wetlands the airport maintains. Brown County is a 55-acre island that has become too difficult for traditional mowers to handle; 2024 is the first year and a trial to see if the grazers can keep it maintained.
Ms. Emunson received her degree in Project Management from Liberty University. She has been a member of the American Solar Grazing Association since 2019. While working for the Marine Corps Roxie received her Master Trainer Certification.
Ms. Emunson is originally from Oklahoma and her husband; Daniel from Michigan. They moved to Wisconsin in 2022 to establish their home after Daniel’s 27 years of service in the Marine Corps. In 2016, the two began working on what would the next adventure, after Daniel’s Marine Corps career and her job as a trainer and facilitator for the Marine Corps came to an end. Ms. Emunson grew up in 4-H sheep projects, and they both had an interest in ‘Green Initiatives.’ Starting the search for the breed sheep and industry that could support them, they found Solar Grazing and Old English Babydolls. They purchased their first pair of ewes in 2020 and began growing the flock in North Carolina, Daniel’s last duty station. In 2022, they made the move to Wisconsin with seven sheep and transitioned from solar farms to industrial grazing and private properties.
Outside of grazing, Ms. Emunson and Daniel enjoy all things outdoors. Two of their three children have moved to Wisconsin to join them. Roxie and Daniel enjoy sharing their sheep with others – giving tours to youth groups, taking sheep to schools, and other civic groups. They also collaborate with their sister farm Van Acres, LLC on education and contracts when goats are needed.
