[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You cannot really spin cloth that can be worn against the skin from their wool. It's more for rug or upholstery purposes.

OP are we friends IRL? You sound exactly like someone I know. [/quote]

OP here. Hello, Maybe Friend! I haven't really talked about this with my friends, so not sure... I agree the BNV breed is more carpet-grade wool than anything else.

I want to milk them. I really like ewe's milk, but it's not possible to buy any in this region. It can be frozen, though, unlike other types of milk, because of its high fat content, which also means I won't need to milk in winter. I also want to make cheese. I am aware that there are better breeds of milkers out there, but this breed is cute, hardy and as sheep go, not dumb. Also, how much milk do we really need? None of this is for commercial purposes. I'm not planning on having a large flock, just a few sheep. All I need is 5 acres far enough from the city that it's agricultural zoning.

[/quote]Where did you learn to make cheese.  Are there any local classes? [/quote]
