So this is why one of my favorite sheep farms now crosses its East Friesians with Lacaunes now.
I would love to see more videos of your farm operations very interested in dairy sheep milk
I would like to see more videos too. I also want dairy sheep.
In curious about EF and Corriedale crosses for milk, health and fiber improvement. Any experience with that cross? I'm in the N9rtheast in the US. Thanks!
Hey there, thanks for your comment! On The Land is a RUclips channel for a farming TV show and this was aired as part of a segment for that. I'd recommend heading to the Lincoln University website for an answer to your question www.lincoln.ac.nz/ hope that helps :)
How is this fleece to spin?
The East Friesian is a nice, fairly fine, depending on crosses, fiber to spin. We help skirt 100 EF sheep in western Washington state every January,and the fleeces we bring home and the yarn that the farm has milled is quite lovely. Really nice for sweaters and socks. The Black Sheep Creamery out of Chehalis, Washington is where we get to participate in their shearing.
