Dave Ollila, SDSU Extension Sheep Specialist, joins me once again to answer some questions about his recent presentation on the history of the Western Range Ewe. We discuss the development and use of the Targhee and Rambouillet sheep breeds in Western contexts. We also talk about the future of the Western Sheep industry and how they can be a key factor in benefiting soil health.

Good episode. I am wonder about hair sheep do they do as well in the northern climates? In my area it costs more to shear than the wool is worth. I live in northern Wisconsin.
