Hope you all had a great holiday. Ours was fun but not long enough. I am going to be going thru lamb withdrawls this weekend. The family that is taking my...
We are holding our own, here. Monsoon is upon us so every evening is interesting with wind and mud/rain. Of course it raises the humidity and makes it...
I am in the opposite spot - finding homes for most of 11 lambs! Most are either crossbreds or Shetlands. One of the Shetland ram twins split off part of a horn...
What a mess! We have a few pygmy goats with horns and a couple of them have broken off the tips and it is eye opening to walk out to feed and have blood ...
Lamb is fine - I still have him closed in the infirmary but will probably let him out today and see how it goes - that was awful. Our big Shetland ram broke...
Hi All, I'm suddenly getting lots of inquiries about sheep/lambs. That's encouraging, but it made me wonder... what does everyone ask for their mii-cheviots? I...

Sometimes I'm in the mood for a good argument -- and sometimes it just gets old real quick! You're looking forard to WINTER???? Banish the thought! Winter is...

I did have lice on my Angora goats once - found it out when we sheared them the first time and one was all skin and bones - died shortly after. There you could...
I ask $250 for registered sheep, $150 for crossbred. The crossbred usually have phenominal fleeces. but of course are no use for breeding is registered is what...
Thanks, Toni, Yes -- Angoras are susceptible to lice. I have one and she's always the first to itch -- that's when I get out the dust or ivermectin pour-on and...

I have just gotten rid of my last Angora goat - both were very people-friendly, but did not "work and play well with others". Yankee was white, and very...
That's so funny! My lone Angora is sweet as pie, loves people but is mild-mannered and even a bit on the shy side... I guess, like people, they're all...

I am not sure about ewes, but rams are potent any time after 5 months, so I would guess ewes are about the same. I do my September shows and even keep them...
From my experience, it's pretty much the same timeline for ewe lambs. Some ewe lambs will conceive and others won't. With proper feeding ewe lambs can ...
Yup, boys ARE nasty!!! All my boys have been wethered, except my ram. I just don't want him to breed both daughters. I don't like to breed them too young if I...

How would I know - I never had a black Cheviot! But I will in September - thank you, Lori! Toni in PA where I went into the pool to cool off - and it was 84!...
LOL....I wish I had a pool!! My dark (various shades of black, brown, silver) sheep all have dark eyes. But my white ram has the most gorgeous amber eyes so I...
Actually you all should come to AZ. It has been under 100 degrees for almost a week. Supposed to creep back up the end of the week. I've been busy at work...
I will be meeting Lori Olson of MO in late Sept/early Oct to bring her a white ram. If anyone is interested in our "eastern genes" contact me and Lori and I...
Hi! Do we know of anyone who breeds mini cheviot sheep in Maine? I've been asked by someone who will be visiting and would like to see some in "person"....
