I’ve been battling the excess mud for years. I finally found a solution using mudstopper but they are discontinuing it!
Looking for cheap, quick solutions. Single mom sheep herder.

Hello Sumi,
I think I do have to move her because the property is up for sale. The space is also difficult to manage bc I don't own it and I dont love on the property. The place id like to move her is ten mins away but there are two mini ponies that are so energetic. Then the other place...
I have a female ewe that is 4. She used to live with two boar goats and they passed away. I have a trouble finding a new place for her to move. I found a space but I'm worried. Since they passed over a year ago she has been on her own. She is around me and a dog. When I take her to vet she's...
Hello backyard herds,
Below are some images of my ewe sophia and my boar goats Redsocks and Aladdin. I rescued Sophia when she was a lamb and adopted Redsocks and Aladdin along the journey. Redsocks and Aladdin sadly passed away about a year ago. It's now just Sophia and I am actively...
I've had my sheep for about four years now. I've raised her since she was a lamb. She lived with two large boar goats. One had a tendency to headbutt. They passed sadly and now it's just her on the pasture. In the past six months she has begun to head butt me when I don't give her feed. The...
I have sheeted her every year. I'm just learning about hair sheep. She's about 4ft and some change. I'm taking her to vet today so I'll measure then. She still has her original tags in.
Thank you. I would love to breed her. One of your friends started out just like me? That's really inspiring sometimes I loose hope. Do you think I could talk to her through email? It'd just be nice to get some inspiration. Thanks tamarasheepfarmer@gmail.com
Thank you goat pay,
That's really awesome that you have been raising goats for so long. I hope to learn more about how to get started. I think your right and I should let time take its course. Sophia was never bottle fed and when she was a lamb she lived with a couple boer goats. But...
Thank you for replying. I thought it was important to register your livestock. She is a pet but one day I would like to have a ranch/farm with more animals. I would also like to breed her one day. Because I do not have a pasture of my own I thought maybe it was the safest way to make sure if...
Hello guys thank you for your replies and I hope you had an awesome holiday. @SheepGirl I will ask the lady who eon the property if I can do that. But as @bcnewe2 says its difficult with the ponies. I fit Sophia as a lamb at 40lbs. She was living with other sheep big and small. She went to live...
I have a four year Ewe names Sophia. She is a chunky girl who I am trying to help loose weight but it is difficult because she lives on a pasture alone at the moment. I am in the process of finding a place for her to stay coming this winter. I live within the city of Philadelphia and as much...
