Have you any wool?

Today, Hoosier sheep farmer Holly Brady of Crawfordsville, Ind. shares some photos of her sheep with us.


Holly’s granddaughter Lyla and purebred Coopworth ewe Lucy share an apple.


These Dorset sheep enjoy a bale of hay. Sheep are ruminants, so they have four stomach chambers.


This curious Dorset Coopworth crossbred sheep handles the snow just fine.


Twins are common among sheep. These little lambs are this mama’s first babies.


The finished product. These two 4-oz skeins of wool from Indiana sheep that we happen to be giving away this week. Have you entered to win?
