Then we all got to try shearing. I asked him, "Are these fiber sheep or meat sheep?" He answered, "All sheep are made of meat!" (which is just what I say about my rabbits!) Turns out they ARE meat sheep; their wool is too rough for anything but rugs. Still, I know that the Icelanders milked their sheep, and sheepsmilk yogurt commands a high price at Whole Foods here. I have dairy goats, but my father's best friend raised Angora goats.
