Not controlled by Fontera, prices not dictated by the global market. I expect they supply off season to Northern Hemisphere goats milk drinkers. There is sheep milk too for sheep farmers, and a big market for that too. Not all the world drinks cows milk. But I would like to see wool make a comeback, I'm sure it's much more pollution friendly than synthetic fibres.
Sheep milk is an interesting idea and I saw something on the TV about it, we are too reliant on dairy and we need to diversify.
Sheep are great, and should be encouraged more. Its absolutely ridiculous they are wanting to sting farmers in the pocket for having sheep!
What about all the benefits from wool? Grow our wool industry and use it for insulation and other clothing products and get away from synthetic oil based products instead win-win!
Sheep are part of nature, they are not harming the climate, neither are the millions of wilderbeast in Africa.
