The Wooly Whey – Details, episodes & analysis

Enjoy an introduction to the Wooly Whey Podcast - hosted by Rachel Hester of WhoopsyDaisy Farm. We briefly go over how the book, "The Guide to Homestead Dairy Sheep,' was born, and how it has led us on an amazing journey of discovery of sheep, sheep milk, and shepherds. Follow along as we dive into sheep milk nutrition, harvesting tips, sheep animal husbandry, harvesting and preserving meat, cheesemaking, fiber arts, and various other topics pertaining to raising sheep. The Wooly Whey is a production of WhoopsyDaisy Farm. You can find more about us at www.whoopsydaisyfarm.com or email us at whoopsydaisyfarm@gmail.com Follow us on Instagram, Facebook and Youtube!

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.
