We are bringing you a number of episodes on sheep here on the HOA podcast, and this week is all about fiber sheep. What breeds are best for producing wool? What can you do with the wool after shearing? How much space do you need to raise sheep? Janet of Timber Creek Farm is joining us today to answer these questions and more! In this episode, we cover: ● Choosing the right breed of fiber sheep for your needs ● What health markers to look for when acquiring new sheep ● Options for processing wool

This is a Jacob sheep and his horns are not lookin' too hot. His 3rd & 4th horn are connecting with his cheek. The owner trimmed them back to prevent them from tearing open his face. This would not be a good ram to use for breading because horn configuration is heritable. He would likely pass on this defect to any offspring. #shearingiscaring #everyanimaleveryyear #backtothepasturefaster | Right Choice Shearing
