🥛YOU CAN RAISE SHEEP FOR DAIRY?? 🥛

You sure can! We chose sheep because they’re an amazing animal to raise for dairy, wool, AND meat. Dairy is our primary use for them though!

Here are some of the benefits of sheep’s milk!!

🥛Has at LEAST double the amounts of most nutrients compared to cow and goat’s milk!

🥛 Lowers Cholesterol
Sheep’s milk has twice as much fat as cow’s milk BUT it’s the good kind of fats that will help LOWER your cholesterol!

🥛Boosts your immune system!
Because of the high levels of minerals and nutrients found in sheep milk, including vitamins A and vitamin E sheep’s milk will give you a boost. Vitamins A and E both act as antioxidants!

🥛High in Protein!
With 5.4 grams of protein per 100 grams of milk, sheep milk is better than cow milk (3.2 grams), goat milk (3.1 grams) and buffalo milk (4.5 grams).

🥛Lowers your blood pressure.
The levels of healthy amino acids in sheep milk are much higher than the levels found in Buffalo, cow, and goat milk.

🥛 Sheep’s milk is traditionally used in the Middle East and the Mediterranean and Ricotta, Feta, yogurt, and Labneh, are all traditionally made with sheep’s milk.
