In-Depth Information
Hand spinners often are interested in buying wool directly from sheep breeders. There is an
increasing demand for wool from sheep that have been raised organically. You also may wish
to sell the wool directly to the public at farmers markets or online if you are selling other
products from your farm. If you have specialty sheep with a particularly desirable kind of
wool, you can market those qualities.
Laws
There are relatively few laws concerning sheep at the state and federal level in the U.S. You
will need to check your local laws to be certain there are no zoning or animal issues where
you live that would interfere with you keeping or raising sheep.
