Hi Everyone, I will be leaving Eden, Utah about November 28 heading to Edgar Springs, Missouri and then Fredericktown, Ohio. I have lots of space available. ...
Hi Kris. Although compared to our goats (which are browsers) the sheep (grazers, so yes, more inclined towards grass) are less inclined to eat bushes and...
Hi all! I have a question about keeping mini cheviot's on pasture. First of all, are they more inclined to eat the grass than any weeds and brush? It is...
I am leaving Eden, Utah on November 27. I have lots of room available going east. Best regards, Russ Edgar Ranch Russ Edgar 16850 North Liberty Road ...
It's nice to hear from you again, Margot! Thanks for reminding me about registration. I have my very first Mini Cheviot lamb that needs to be registered!...
*Toni, I would love to borrow some of your exhibit for our county fair next summer (mid-July), if it isn't a conflict for you. I plan to show the little ewe...
I spent last weekend at the Rhinebeck NJ show in the Breeds Barn. My display took 2nd (out of 20) and I was very pleased. I would be happy to share the info I...
Hi All, I've just moved from Washington State to central Ohio, after a year in Indiana. I'm sending my membership dues to Eddie and will re-appear on the...
No, Sue - she is actually a 3/4 Cheviot with a black Shetland ram grandpa. Oran' father was Petite and whole different line all the way down. I want a good...
My two Babydolls (from different bloodlines) both have much shorter wool than the MiniCheviots. I did have cross lambs this year with really promising wool....
*Hi Tony... so how does it look for getting a bred pure white ewe with real nice fleece before Christmas? We would love to have her for our lovely Nativity...
I am slightly too old for 4H - about 65 years too old. But I show my sheep regularly and they have always been shown in a Wool class - in our area the Classic...
Toni, is Dark Star related to Oran? The spot over her eye (I assume she's a white lamb?) sounds neat. As you know, I love color and I'm so pleased with the...
*If our experience with introducing miniature goats into a big goat town is any judge of things, the powers that be will probably accommodate the kids in 4H by...
I believe you can show them as a wool breed. I know several people show Babydolls in full fleece as wool breed. Hopefully someone with some 4-H experience...
Hi everyone...I am very new to this group, and new to sheep, in general. I became interested in this adorable little breed while researching something for my...
Hi folks - I am again going to take sheep to the Breeds Barn at Rhinebeck and I need help with my display. They count a large percentage on information. I have...
Hi Everyone, The September trip starts is Mount Vernon, Ohio with stops in Copay, California, The Dalles, Oregon, Fairfield, Idaho, Colorado, Deerfield,...
No, but he didn't seem overly large. And his offspring were on the small side - my new ram lamb, Simon of Cyrene, is noticeably small, and he is Brian's...
Hi Sue - yes, I have. I have sold my wethers over the years, but I kept one (who is actially a crossbred, but the Shetland in him should be even smaller!) as a...
Maybe a silly question, but... Do your wethers mature taller than they 'should'? In horses, gelding fairly young often results in a horse that matures a bit...
I have been doing this for many years now and I must say that it is really simple. I see all these people with sheep on stands, clipping away, and just smile....
I cconsulted my Stockman's Gesta-Calc and it says that for a Feb 9 exposure July 6 was earliest date, July 21 average date, and Aug 5 latest date. Assuming...
I don't know about sheep shows, but we use collars on our sheep to lead them. They are treat driven and initially that was the way we taught them to lead. As...
Hi Terri, Judges are supposed to judge according to the breed standards which are available at minicheviot.com. Mini cheviots can be taught to lead, I...
Hi Nancy, What was your projected delivery date that "has come and gone"? Early to mid February breeding would result in an early to mid July delivery. If...
