Wool from Gulf Coast sheep is prized for its unique qualities, derived from a breed well-adapted to the climate of the southeastern United States. The raw fleece of these sheep is known for its resilience and durability, with a staple length typically ranging from 2 to 4 inches. It often contains a mix of fine and medium fibers, which produce a soft yet sturdy wool ideal for various textile applications. When processed into roving, Gulf Coast wool retains its natural crimp and elasticity, making it a favorite among hand spinners and crafters for its ease in spinning and the beautiful, airy yarn it creates. This breed's natural resistance to pests and diseases also makes it a sustainable and eco-friendly choice for fiber enthusiasts. Visit our Etsy shop: https://www.etsy.com/shop/RedOakFarmWool

Holistic grazing - Australia
This is what holistic grazing looks like in the Central Tablelands of NSW, Australia.
The farm is called Winona and it is said to be one of the most studied farms in the country. Here, planned grazing mimics the grazing of wild animals by making large herds and rotating them around the property.
Results:
+ Insect life has increased by 600%
+ No fertilizer has been used on the pasture for 40 years, yet ...
+ Soil nutrient content has increased on average by 162%.
Winona is also a net carbon sink, meaning its soils absorb more carbon than what its business operations emit.
In total, the farm is calculated to sequester 485 tCO2e/year, and the property’s soil has been found to hold over 200% more organic carbon than the neighboring property.
