Sheep, Horns and Coyotes: A Small Farm Update
From Beginning with Sheep · 26:33
Show by Parkerfarmjacobs
The hosts share a weekend farm update covering roof repairs, recent predator activity after losing a dog, and decisions about getting a livestock guardian dog. They discuss sheep care—shearing schedules, a ram whose horns need trimming, and calling the vet for safety. They also touch on Jacob sheep genetics, wool color, and long-term breeding plans. The conversation broadens to industry issues: limited regional mills, efforts like FiberShed to rebuild local fiber systems, and how tariffs and canceled grants are hurting small farms and indie yarn dyers. The episode closes with practical advice to support local farmers and thoughts on future episodes about selecting rams and breeding programs.
