Two farms have been suspended from New Zealand Merino's ZQ quality standard supply programme after undercover videos appeared to show animal welfare breaches. People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) claimed that a recent investigation uncovered cruelty towards sheep on these farms - forcing MPI to take action. The Country's Jamie Mackay says people reportedly stood on sheep's necks, dragged them across the floors of shearing sheds and sewed up wounds without painkillers.

Edna Lewis was a legendary American chef, a pioneer of Southern cooking and the author of four books, including The Taste of Country Cooking, her memoir cookbook about growing up in Freetown, Virginia, a small farming community of formerly enslaved people and their descendants established in 1866. Before she began writing books, Edna had been a celebrated chef at Cafe Nicholson in New York City in the 1950s where Eleanor Roosevelt, Paul Robeson, Marlon Brando, Tennessee Williams, Truman Capote and Marlene Dietrich all came for her Southern food and legendary chocolate soufflé.The Taste of Country Cooking chronicled the traditions and recipes of the community where she grew up — a rural settlement that celebrated the events and traditions of daily life across each year with special suppers and ritual meals — Emancipation Day Dinner, Early Spring Dinner after Sheep Shearing, Morning After Hog Butchering Breakfast, Christmas Eve Supper and Christmas Dinner to name but a few of the dishes and stories that fill this book.In 1983 The Kitchen Sisters went to talk to Ms. Lewis about her life and the Christmas traditions in the tight-knit Virginia farming community where she came of age.For Christmas, The Kitchen Sisters Present...

It's a reality for some people that the only animal they've ever come into contact with is their pet. That was the case for Briana Bateman, who had not had a farm interaction until her 20s. It was her love for sustainable food and cute animals that drove her to start a national sheep shearing business. She tells us about her journey from the suburbs to production agriculture.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Mary Kate Claytor is the Associate Director of Interpretation at the Frontier Culture Museum in Staunton, Virginia. After a bit of background about this unique living history museum, Mary Kate describes in detail wool production for a yeoman farmer in the 1600-1800's: starting with sheep shearing, wool washing, stale urine and lanolin, through to carding & combing, drop spindles & spinning wheels, historical & natural dyes, and finally ending on a fabric called linsey-woolsey. From there we move on to another category of historical clothing, buckskins. Mary Kate recounts learning how to hide tan while working at Natural Bridge's Monacan village. Then we switch from clothing to foodways by reflecting on both profound & disturbing experiences while taking part in hog slaughters & fowl processing. We end on hearing of how Mary Kate's historical hobbies connect her to her great-grandmother.

(Lander, WY) - Come celebrate the history of the sheep industry in Fremont County with the Lander Pioneer Museum “Sheep Shearing Day,” which will take place this Saturday, April 29, and will run from 1 to 3 p.m. The event is free and open to the public. Folks can expect shearing demonstrations, weaving displays, lamb sliders, crafts, horseback rides, and activities for kids. Sheep Shearing day is the second event in the museum's 2023 “Kid's Exploration Series,” sponsored by Bailey Tire and Auto Services. The series are activities and events for young people and families to learn about Lander and Wyoming history. Historically, spring in Fremont County has meant gathering up the sheep for their annual haircut. The Lander Pioneer Museum recognizes that heritage with its annual Sheep Shearing Day. The sheep industry was a huge part of the county's economy. Many fortunes were made running sheep in the area, and in Lander a number of the large houses in town were built by money made from wool and mutton. Many sheep wagons are scattered around town, a relic from the days when families had sheep on the range. “Even today many people raise sheep and they are an important part of our agricultural economy,” said Lander Museum Director Randy Wise. “The museum wants to recognize that heritage in a way that kids will have a fun time learning about.” Sheep shearing demonstrations will be held on the museum grounds, the Fremont County Fiber Arts Guild will be doing demonstrations of wool crafts in the livery stable, and there will be crafts for kids, and horseback rides. The Fremont County Pioneer Association will be grilling lamb sliders (available for a donation) and hot dogs at the picnic pavilion. The lamb is being donated by the Wyoming Woolgrowers Association. There will be other activities as well. The museum is located on the north end of town at 1443 Main Street. Call 307-332-3373 for information or visit the web at www.fremontcountymuseums.com or on Facebook at Pioneer Museum Lander Wyoming.

During the darkest days of the pandemic lots of people read books, played video games, mastered Zoom (sorta) or tried their hand baking sourdough. Peggy Orenstein did those things, too, but she also handmade her very own sweater and then WROTE a book about it. So what, you may be thinking, lots of people knit. No. She really made her own sweater. Like she found a sheep (well, three actually) and learned to shear them for their fleece in order to make her own yarn kind of sweater. But, truly, that was only part of the experience she shares in her book Unraveling: What I Learned About Life While Shearing Sheep, Dyeing Wool, and Making the World's Ugliest Sweater. She also learned a lot about herself, her family, her grief and her grit in the process.  If you have questions or guest suggestions, Ali would love to hear from you.

As Florizel proclaims his love for Perdita to all the guests at the Sheep Shearing festival (including his father and Camillo who are still in disguise), the Old Shepherd calls for their wedding to take place during the celebration. The unknown guest tries to persuade the young man to hold off until he's told his father, or at least discussed it with him, but Florizel refuses, saying his father must not know anything about it. Enraged, Polixenes finally removes his disguise and condemns his son, Perdita and her father, threatening to disfigure Perdita and kill the Old Shepherd if either of them come near his son again, and to disown Florizel if he even mentions her name. After his father departs, Florizel insists that he will stay with Perdita. Camillo, however, sees an opportunity to bring Polixenes and Leontes back together and persuades Florizel and Perdita to flee with him back to Sicilia. As Camillo describes the plan, they come upon Autolycus celebrating his pickpocketing success and demand that he change clothes with Florizel so that he won't be recognized on the road. Perdita agrees to go along with the plan.

Follow them on Instagram @ewe_42 and @alex.moser.1829. The industry is always in need of new and enthusiastic sheep shearers.

Before heading to the New York State Sheep and Wool Festival 2021, we did a farm visit to speak with one of the participants of that grand event.  Siri Swanson (sheep shearer, farmer, butcher, educator and overachiever, among other things) gave us a tour of Yankee Rock Farm.  When she and her partner Colin are not running around the country shearing sheep, she plies her farming trades on three or four different sites near the Green Mountains of Vermont.  She has to do multiples in order to make it work, and “work” is the operative word.  The beautiful four-legged residents she raises include both Border Leicesters and Finn Sheep, and (speaking of multiples) we learned some interesting new ways to increase the sheep population quickly.  For this one we had to think intensely to remember what comes after “quads.”Rhinebeck is over, but the interviews are not.  This one is one that gives us hope for the future of agriculture, and the new generation of people who do it.Links:https://www.yankeerockfarm.com/https://www.virtual.sheepandwool.com/41https://web.archive.org/web/20130718022110/http://hhr.highlands.com/default.htmlhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hudson_Riverhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Tear_of_the_Cloudshttps://darrp.noaa.gov/hazardous-waste/hudson-riverhttps://www.epa.gov/superfund/what-superfundhttps://www.nps.gov/places/hudson-river-valley-national-heritage-area.htmhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/US_Airways_Flight_1549Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/agriCulturePodcast)
