This is a blog about sheep specifically Corriedales. Corriedales are a dual purpose meat and wool breed that perform well for both uses. They produce great fleece that spinners value highly. Our farm is in central Illinois.

Wheat
We grow wheat every other year, rotating soybeans and wheat every other year. The straw from this wheat field was enough to provide bedding for the sheep for two years. This year, we had an abundance of straw, so we sold the excess to a nearby farmer.
