First time post. New soapmaker in oklahoma.
I have made half a dozen or more batches of cp soap. Started with lard because I had abundance. Then some with various oils I ordered. I've used duck fat and goats milk. So, not a brand Newby. But close. I've come across an abundance of rendered llama fat, but can't find a saponification value. Sap value for all kinds of animal fat from emu to bear have sap values from .135 to ..141 with most being in the .138 range. Would it be safe to assume .138 and use a 5% super fat?
Llama fat is a hard fat very similar to beef.
