Hi all you sheep lovers! Happy New Year!! Just wanted to let everyone know I have sheep for sale at Kirabo Pastures. Both adults and lambs. My sheep stock is out of Jean Near's and Janet Heppler's animals and they WIN prizes for their wool, consistently. Here is Ulysses, a 2014 ram who doesn't disappoint! He runs fairly close to a 100% insemination rate for the ewes he is put with. I wouldn't have him for sale except I am overcome with his progeny and no longer have anyone I can bred him with! If you are interested, please PM me, Carrie Sparrevohn, for details, either directly or from this page (as I manage it)

Interesting article on determining what makes hair curly, using sheep's wool!

After testing two theories about what makes sheep’s wool kinky, researchers found flaws in existing ideas about how different types of cells contribute to curliness in hair.
