Sheep Dairy

I came across this story on a sheep dairy in Alabama.
Thought you sheep folks might enjoy.

That's really cool! I'm not a sheep person but it's still really awesome

@Alexz7272 I'm actually debating Katahdin sheep...

@Alexz7272 I'm actually debating Katahdin sheep...

I have four Katahdin/Dorper cross ewes. The were bred to a Katahdin ram when I bought them, keeping two ewes to add to the flock this month. I now have a Dorper ram to breed my ewes to. We sold 2 1/2 lambs, we kept 1/2 a lamb for the freezer. Can't wait to try our own home grown lamb!

I'm going to be asking lots of questions about your sheep! My husband has even blessed this potential venture. We've considered sheep before but wool is so... Icky? Hair sheep are awesome!
