[Betty Berlenbach]

I do not use sheep coats at all on my sheep.  The fleeces stay very clean. I will not sell a fleece with more than 10 pieces of veggie matter in them, and don't generally have that many.  I suspect it is because of immediate careful skirting and picking out of any veggie matter, and the fact that I feed hay in flakes on the ground, placed five feet from each other, one pile more than the number of sheep eating.  They eat on the ground all summer; why not all winter.  I seldom have to worm the sheep, so I guess there's no problem with that.
