Ok maybe that's a bit of an overstatement. But... I do have sheep now.
I picked up 3 black bellied barbados yesterday. They are hair sheep and won't have to be sheared. I have 3 ewes and the breeder is going to sell me a ram later this fall to go with them. They are mainly for pets and pasture maintainance but I'll probably breed for meat a little bit too. I've wanted to add some sheep to my collection of animals for a while so I'm really excited about these girls. They're so cute! They're a bit shy right now, but they do love my Aussies. These girls were housed with an Aussie and a Pyr so I guess my dog makes them feel a bit at home. Luckily he's good with the livestock out here.

Congrats on the sheep!!! I'm beginning to wonder if sheep would be easier to keep than my crazy too-affectionate, escape-artist goats :cool:
