If you're interested in raising sheep for wool, there are several important things you need to know to ensure that you produce high-quality wool that can be turned into high-quality yarn.

In this interview, we will provide you with some valuable tips on how to understand the process of raising sheep for wool and how to keep your wool clean for milling. Firstly, it's important to select the right breed of sheep for wool production. Some breeds produce more wool than others, while others produce finer, softer wool.

Leslie Svacina is the owner-operator of Cylon Rolling Acres, a grass-based livestock farm in Western Wisconsin where she has an ever-growing herd of Boer-Kiko cross goats.
