My miniature cheviot Suzannah delivered a beautiful healthy boy on Friday morning. He's black and weighed in at around 6.5 pounds. Looks just like dad! I am...

... Hi Toni, I am interested in learning about mini cheviots. I have never had sheep and would like to get them in the future along with some mini nubians. I...
Hi all, I am still new to all of this. I was wondering if I could pasture sheep and goats in the same pasture and if they could use the same run in shed? Of...

A woman contacted me ages ago (a year?) asking for photos and a blurb about my sheep for a book on spinning that she was writing. This week it finally went to...
Toni, I am in Reigelsville. You are right around the corner. I would love to come over sometime and meet your cheviots. I will call you sometime. I emailed...
*Rams are much more of a threat to bucks than visa versa. I know a little buck with a permanently disabled rear leg who was butted by a shetland ram three...
... I do not plan on any rams or bucks. I just want them as pets. Are the cheviot sheep sheep friendly Are they very flock dependant? I know goats are very...
Goats, like horses, need Copper, which is toxic to sheep. When I had a ram in with the horses it was easy - I just put the horse minerals up high enough that...
I keep my goats and sheep separate for a few reasons. First, they started off that way, and they do get territorial over fields and food. Second, and related...
My mini cheviots are all friendly. Even flighty young Baagonia is now a pocket sheep. She was attacked by a dog on Easter and I carried her up to the house...
Hi Everyone, I have a trip from Ohio to the west coast of Oregon for September 15. The trip start is Mount Vernon, Ohio with stops in Wisconsin, Iowa,...
Our sheds are about 8x8 because lumber comes in 8 foot lengths. It's perfect for the little sheep. Four fit in just fine. Often all 9 of ours will crowd...

8 x 8 sounds about right - I have a shed I bought second-hand from an area pharmacy when they went out of business and my rams use it most of the year. Right...
Toni, Thanks your help. I think an 8 x 8 has plenty of room. I will keep my eyes open for something. I was also wondering if there is a place I could go to to...
You're being way too pragmatic about all of this! I picked up my first sheep (two bottle lambs) when I had no shelter or fence for them! That first spring I...
Yeah I know. Unfortunately my husband is not happy with the whole idea right now. All I can do now is do the research and visit with my neighbor's sheep and...
Heheh. my husband is also not happy with the sheep idea. I'm working on some solutions to make them less annoying to him. I would love to have a set up where...
Winning the lottery sounds like a good plan! My husband actually likes sheep and goats but to be honest he is being practical. I lost my job in March and took...
Try out this link. If you wish to spend a few dollars and have a nice light and airy type of hut that can be easily moved these are great. All my stock love...
You do realize, of course, that the shelter is mainly for you so that you don't lie awake on nasty nights worrying about your babies. They never had man-made...
Toni - you are right there. My sheep would rather sleep out under the big evergreen in the middle of the field. They spent the heat of the day there and are...

*So today I attended the sheep show at our local county fair. Interesting, but over my head. I had no idea what the judge was looking for. I know goats,...
