    How wool breed owners view hair sheep.

    WOW?! Really? Hair sheep (Especially pure Kat's) sell for a lot more than woolies in my area - sometimes even 2x as much!

    Paying for the small farm with part-time sheep

    This may not be true of your area, but the registered sheep in my area sell for 2 and sometimes 3 times as much as crossbreeds. Katahdins are the fastest growing sheep as far as popularity in America and most breeders sell out at least one year in advance. If you have a nice flock with good...

    Need sheep breed recommendation for mowing the lawn.

    They will eat those grasses just fine as long as it doesn't get too out of control. Keep an eye on Craigslist, or you can visit www.katahdins.org Most sheep on that website are going to be registered though. What region of GA are you in? I had a few crossbred Katahdins I was selling, but...

    Need sheep breed recommendation for mowing the lawn.

    If you scratch #11 off your list I would say go for hair sheep. I live in South GA, and I can't imagine having wooled sheep... I am afraid they would have a heat stroke. My Katahdins are a dream. They don't require much maintenance at all, mow the grass well, aren't loud, extremely friendly...

    When is my 4 month old Katahdin most likely to breed the ladies?

    Is that a recent photo? If so, I really do not think he is 4 months old... He looks really young in that photo and definitely not breeding age

    The sad state of the Caucasian Ovcharka's in U.S.

    Great Post! True of a lot of breeds in dogs and other animals... I have gotten multiple emails from people stating that "Caucasian Ovcharka's or Caucasian Mountain Dog is my DREAM DOG" Please let me know if you have any for sale... Love the pictures of yours! Well... I have a picture of my...

    How many chickens are too many?

    You can never have too many!! I don't even want to go out and count how many I have. Honestly the numbers change depending on what day you ask me... I hatch every Saturday and ship chicks on Monday. I have no idea how many adult/juvenile birds I have... I would guess around 100 at least

    Geometry for flight up to roost?

    Your birds will have absolutely no problem getting 3 feet off the ground. As mentioned above, be sure to put the roosting bars higher than the nesting boxes.

    Will Mastitis affect a sheeps meat?

    I don't know if she is "too far gone" but have you tried milking her out to release some of the pressure? Don't milk her out completely (this stimulates making more milk) but just maybe 2/3 of the way. I would then give penicillin. See if she pulls through. I have 4 ewes in my flock now...

    Dorper ewes with bottle jaw help!!

    The goats and sheep will share worms. That most likely is your problem if the goats have a high worm load. Try giving them all a dose of cydectin. I have found that works best and fastest. Ivomec only kills one type of worm dangerous to sheep (I can't remember which one off the top of my...

    Annoying things non-sheep owners say to you...

    Yep something in people's mind only lets them think that sheep are solid white. People think of goats as being multi-colored for some reason. They are in for a surprise when they come to my place. I have many different colors in my flock including: red, brown, black, white, black and white...
