Hi! Marc and I have been backyard farmers for a while. First just chickens on our 1 acre. Then we bought 26 acres and have had more chickens 😆, Guineas, 2 black angus cows and now Barbados Blackbelly sheep. These sheep are hair sheep and poled. (No horns - no wool to shear)
We just had two sets of twins born.
I am learning about breeding and could use some advice. Let me know what you have learned from your experience.
We also have 1 old golden retriever, 1 teenager Boykin Spaniel and 2 cats ( the brown one in the pictures with the sheep thinks he is a dog!)
