Supporting the American Sheep Industry

You might be thinking “Isn’t wool better used for clothing and yarn?”
You’re not wrong, but most sheep in the Midwest don’t grow fine wool needed
for high-quality fabrics. Nevertheless, these sheep need to be shorn every year
because their wool never stops growing. However, their wool is often of so little value
that the price sheep producers sell it for usually doesn’t even cover the cost of shearing.
We’ve heard of producers reluctantly trying to bury or burn their wool just to get rid of it
because they think it's their only option. It's disheartening because wool is truly a
remarkable fiber that has many beneficial properties beyond clothing.

Our solution: WOOL PELLETS!

We are purchasing this second-rate wool at a higher price to create a market for it
and to help offset the cost of shearing for the sheep producers.
We then process this wool into pellets that can easily be applied as a
renewable, all-natural plant soil amendment/fertilizer.

In addition to using wool from our own sheep flock, we are fortunate to work with a
sheep shearing crew right down the road to source my wool, so all our wool
comes from within a 200-mile radius of our ranch based in south central Nebraska.
Sourcing local wool reduces our carbon footprint due to transportation while
ensuring money is kept in our rural economies.
