Loving the herd life
I took both breed quizzes by SheepGirl and got Katahdin and Texel. Learning up and doing my research! I am believing for a better place with room for my chickies and eventually some herd critters. About 6 mos. ago, I started poking around at the critter types and decided on sheep. (Pigs may not be entirely out of the equation, but for now...SHEEP!) I intend to inform the heck out of myself beforehand.
I'm not young and am disabled--I can get out and around, but if one of the girls was to get loose, it'd be either Hubby or my daughter catching her feathery butt. Would this be an issue if I had, perhaps, 3 ewes? The more I read about rams, the more I'm thinking "visiting gentleman." LOL
I know what the quizzes suggested (%100 on both breeds), but I'd love to hear suggestions if anyone's in love with a particular meat breed. On the other hand, are sheep a bad idea for a gimp like me? Such as, "Go get some rabbits, you old hag." LOL
