Homestead Sheep - Farm to Fork

Sheep are an ancient companion that once were the most abundant livestock upon the Wyoming landscape. In recent years the sheep market has floundered but as local foods broaden America’s palate again, the sheep are making a comeback…

We’ll visit a mother/daughter operation in Lovell raising crossed Dorper/ Katahdin hair sheep, both relatively new breeds, but gaining in popularity in Wyoming. We’ll also visit the homestead of the Spear S Ranch in Red Canyon where they work to restore the oldest domestic breed of sheep in the Americas, the Navajo-Churro. Originally broadcast on 5/10/19.
