    So what have you built lately? Here's a wool sack holder I tacked together.

    I just found new plans for a sheep feeder that I may put together this fall. It has a covered top for that you may use it outside and the sides are solid so debris won't get into the fleeces. I got the plans from a poster on the Jacob list. I'm really excited about using it because clean fleeces are important if I want to sell my extras to handspinners.

    I think this is the link, I've also got a number of good plans from the Canadian site that is similar to our Cooperative Extension. www.sheepythyme.com/newpage13.htm

    Those sheep coats they have on that website look really interesting. They're so inexpensive. You couldn't make them for that! Does anyone know if they're any good or not?
