Some of the comments led me to believe people were figuring they could make one themselves.
That, happens in almost every venue.
I had to stop my wife from taking pictures at a craft show, because I knew she was doing it with the idea that she could replicate the work at home instead of purchasing the work that was for sale..
I'm a big believer in intellectual property and creative property laws and regs, even if something is not copyrighted.

Sounds like it was a success....with the fudge anyway. Were ya able to sell any of your fleece? Glad ya got your connection figured out, too....:)
Yes, I sold one whole lamb fleece, some of another one, and a fair bit of roving. I will have more fleeces next year, including some adult fleeces with longer wool. I'll also have more roving. It's taken some time to sort through the fleeces I have and decide which ones to clean first to take to sell and/or get processed further into roving. I've got them all organized now, which helps.

Wow! Your sheep are producing so nicely!
Have you ever had your milk tested for butterfat and protein?
Thanks :) How would one go about testing for those? I've heard that butterfat percentage can change during their production cycle, is that true for goats, too? Does protein stay more consistent?
