I am hoping to get my first sheep tomorrow!
They are to be coloured Merinos. The seller asked me if I wanted ewe lambs or sheep.
I am thinking of sheep, as (it will be autumn fairly soon, as I am in Australia) I want join them as soon as possible. I presume that lambs would have to wait till next year?
Is there any benefit of getting lambs, apart from the obvious fact that the will live longer? ( and thus have more lambs, but as these are my first ones, and are mostly just for learning, I'm not too worried)
Also, what is the optimum time of year for joining?
I can ask the seller as well, but I wanted to know a bit more before doing that.
