Welcome to the Wooly Whey! In this episode, your host I, Rachel Hester, give a brief introduction to how I and my husband, Kyle, became educators in the Homesteading movement - specifically regarding dairy sheep.

I share what my goals and hopes for this podcast will be. We will be discussing all things dairy sheep - breeds, animal husbandry, harvesting methods, and even wool processing,

Thanks for stopping by! We are glad you are here!

This week we interview Joel Salatin of Polyface Farms and discuss 'The Sheepness of the Sheep.' You may have heard him talk about the Pigness of the Pig, but we dive into the Sheepness of the Sheep - what makes animals unique, sheep and animal psychology, and how understanding their unique differences helps us practice good animal husbandry and Earth Stewardship. As Kyle and I had just experienced on of the worst farm emergencies to date, this conversation's timing was so applicable as we dove into when to make the hard choice and cull an animal, and how one navigates that decision mentally.
