I purchased a small horse breeding property that came with 6 sheep, which turned me into a sheep farmer. When I eventually killed the big ram, he had so much fat on him I went to the Internet to figure out what to do with it. After trying tallow candles (they suck!) I made soap. Ever since that day in 2012 I've only used this soap made from my own organic sheep's tallow and rainwater from the roof. I have 41 sheep today. I actually have far more unused tallow in a bucket in the deep freezer. I purify it by melting it, mixing with water, letting cool, and remove the fat part (scraping off the middle layer of fat+water+gunk. I usually do that twice. I also mix with cheap oil so it's got more lather.
