Why I chose sheep for my Homestead

East Friesian dairy sheep.

Why I choose sheep milk. The thing that most people don't understand sheep was milked way before cows. Sheep milk is thick full of milk and not a lot of whey or water. Over three-quarters of a gallon is milk unlike goat and cow. It is completely lactose intolerant and holding at 17 grams of protein per cup on average. It never separates and make some of the most amazing cheeses on the planet. It is considered the number 2 milk in the world nothing else compares to it but water buffalo and camel. And I'm not about to milk a water buffalo. The milk is very rich and naturally sweet. Ice cream is by far my favorite all you need is milk. Soap the milk is so fatty you no longer need Lard and if you're like me you stay away from unclean Foods. Now since milk is the number one Moisturizer in the world Imagine the number 2 milk as a soap. Sheep's milk is by far the best milk I've ever seen or tasted. About 5 years ago I gave milk to a lady that has not drink milk in over 15 years. She could not drink cow's milk or goat's milk when she delivered my jars back to the house she cried as she thanked us. She said that was the best milk she had ever drink. I said no problem but just wait I'll make you ice cream you should have seen her face at 82 years old fixing to indulge herself in ice cream. I have used this milk for shampoo, conditioner, soap, body wash, detergent, dish soap, and so much more.

Sheep are by far the homestead animal of the world you can get everything from them from clothing to food. Plus one of the easiest animals to take care of. So look into sheep milk and dairy sheep as your future Homestead animal
