Our main project on our farm is breeding and raising sheep. We have been breeding sheep for 3 years. Our flock consists of a registered Natural Colored (aka:Black) mature Rambrulet ewe (named "Brownie")., 3 of her offspring: 1 black yearling ewe ("Elizabeth"), and two black 3yr old wethers ("Roy & Oliver!").
There's also "Pebbles" a mature Hampshire ewe, and new the three newbies' we just added last year: "Daisy" our Suffolk 2 yr old ewe, "Iris" a mature Hampshire ewe, and last but not least- "Madison" a Barbados (hair sheep), cross... hum, how can I explain Madison??
If you have ever wondered what a SHEEP ON CRACK acts like??? Come on over! That's Madison!!!
Oh the sheep stories I could tell! You just wait! You will soon learn that all the crazy stuff happens to us!
We raise sheep for meat. They are breed at the end of summer and lambing for us starts in Jan. So they are at market weight by the time my daughter shows them at the county fair in July.
