Scottish Blackface

I hope everyone's breeding season is going Ok. I'll be taking the rams from the ewes this next week......can't wait 'til Spring for the new babies. I will be taking orders again for 2013 lambs (mostly rams...a few ewes). Thanks again to those who purchased some of the 2012 lambs. Happy Holidays and all have a safe and enjoyable Winter!!!!

This is the kind of sheep my daughter wants. Would they do ok in central NC. How often would I need to shear them?

Oh yeah I almost forgot..... BEAUTIFUL!

Thanks everyone for the kind remarks...... I'm hoping to take some new photos later this week. Scottish Blackface would do OK in NC. if they were shorn twice a year to help keep them stay cooler and had an area with lots of shade. We had a VERY hot Summer here in Northern Michigan and the sheep did well.....they spent more time under the trees, but they did well.

Where would you suggest I start researching the breed? We have never had sheep, would this be an ok breed for a newbie or not? I can shear however and that is the extent of anything sheep for me.

Your photography is beautiful!
 
As always...I love, love, love your beautiful sheep and property!!! You should do a calendar with photos from all months...gorgeous!!!!
