Free, I have dial up and couldn't watch the video but I will do a Google and see if I can find out more about it....it does sound neat!

I do make a soap that I instill into loufa that seems a big hit. I never thought of using wool! Good idea for using the shed wool from my future flock. ;)

Had someone ask me the other day if I was going to breed my sheep and keep the babies. When I told them the offspring were destined for market, these folks were highly upset! What in the world are people thinking? :hu We are country people....we live in the country.....we have flocks of sheep that we sell at market! Where is the concept getting confused?

Let's see.....keep sheep. Breed sheep. Keep all the sheep you breed until you have no more room for all the sheep. But keep the sheep, keep breeding, keep the sheep until they die on the hoof or you are bankrupt from feeding all the multiplying sheep.

Or maybe.....just maybe....keep all of them to count~ to help you sleep at night because the insomnia created by the worry about keeping and feeding all the sheep..... :smack

It is just another example of how far people these days are separated from ... their food ... and REALITY!

I'm only charging $2 a doz. and it seems to be just the right price, but I sell out pretty quickly at that price right now. At first I got a lot of comments about how high that was but that was usually from the uninformed....they changed their minds pretty quickly and now I don't have enough eggs for the demand. Sure wish I had about 6 extra laying hens right now! :p
Wow, going rate here is $3.50-$4.50 a dozen. I have seen folks asking $5! I think I will ask for 3.00dz. when my newest bunch starts laying.
