Our ram was a katahdinX and my third ewe was a dorper. I like the breed but I dont really want a meat breed. I know that they have other purposes, but most people I have talked to ask us we would eat them soo. I have decided to go for a wooly breed! Today me and my mom went to this store called "The Spinnery" I loved it, the women was so nice. We got a book that documents over 100 breeds of wooly sheep, and I learned how to make Roving. Also me and my mom signed up for a 4 wk carding and spinning class in august. Now that I know how to make roving, I can start to learn how to do stuff with the alpaca/sheep fleeces from last year. I know I have a long road ahead of me, but I am excited. My goal is to eventually be able to knit different products that I can eventually sell and put the money towards new animals. Pretty ambitious I know, but it's something I've been wanting to learn how to do forever. We also got some sheep cheese which is soo good! Overall we had a great day
