1- How can you tell when your ewe is in heat? I read that with goats,
if you scratch their backs, by thier tails and the tail stays up, they
are in heat. If the tail goes down, they are not. I found there seem
to be such a pattern. With my sheep(?), I put my ram in the end of
October and I have April babies. I am not sure how to tell if a ewe is
ready to breed. Any tips?
2- Mills- Last year I used Stonebridge Fiber mill. I sent my wool in
about April, got my wool back in Dec. and I thought she was
expensive. This year I used Yolo wool mill and my wool took approx. 4
weeks. Yolo also produce my wool into more of the yarn that I had
asked for. phone # (530)666-1473. Yolo is in Woodland, Ca.
