big brown horse
Overrun with beasties
As some of you know I am planning on having my own small dairy sheep herd.
I have a nice ram lamb that is 1/2 Icelandic and 1/2 E. Friesian, I also have a pure bred Katahdin ewe and a pure bred border cheviot ewe.
My original plan was to sell their offspring and use the earnings to buy a nice dairy sheep.
I met a lady who has a 3 year old mostly Icelandic cross ewe sheep that is known as an easy lamber, she has good mothering skills, and always has twins. Unfortunately she is not very tame. The lady is only asking $50. for her.
What do you think? Should I get her? I mean after 3 years old can she be tamed enough to eventually milk?
Thanks,
Sally
