Utah Sheep Ranchers Turn Wool Waste into Cash

by


Fox News13 reports:  


CROYDON, Utah – Two brothers from Croydon may have just invented a product that could keep sheep farmers employed for years to come.

“It's a game changer. It could save the sheep industry here in Utah,” said sheep farmer Logan Wilde.

Wilde and his brother Albert are sixth-generation sheep ranchers in the town northeast of Salt Lake City.

The Wilde brothers say only 75 percent of a sheep's wool is good enough to be used for clothing, the other 25 percent usually gets thrown away. But Albert Wilde thought of a way to take that trash and turn a profit.

 

 

Albert Wilde created a gardening pellet out of the waste wool that can be added to the soil in potted plants and gardens.  He explains that the wool can hold 10 times its weight in water, which is helpful for plants for nourishment.

The brothers say the product has only been available for a month, but already they've sold over 500 units and have had inquiries from all over the world.
