Hygiene products made with sheep's milk are also becoming increasingly popular, especially for people with sensitive skin.  Tammy and Brian Michielson, owners of Maple Hill Farm of Ladysmith, Wisconsin have expanded their business into creating a wide variety of these products.  Tammy sells homemade soaps, lotions, bath products and many other things, made exclusively from their milking sheep flock.  She mentions that the higher fat content in the milk helps to make the products more moisturizing and very popular with her customers.  They milk about 75-100 sheep, with most of their milk going to cheese production.  Michielson has continued to expand the business and also now has a greater online presence selling her products.
