During National Agriculture Week, we have a lot to celebrate.

Little Pasture on the Prairie When I first started getting serious about raising sheep, I knew I wanted a fiber flock. I’d been a knitter for years, and had spent enough time drooling over yarn in specialty yarn shops to know how surprisingly versatile and engaging different types of wool can be.
