a couple of months ago I finally (after reading about and wishing for) purchased a few sheep. Once I finished setting up a pasture for them and getting their water and feeder worked out, I purchased a few more, so a total of 6: 3 ewes and 1 ram.
They are all very young (just a few months each) but this type of sheep matures quickly and can have two sets of lambs each year, so my herd will most likely grow quickly.
So far I am really enjoying the experience. They are much easier to maintain than goats (in my experience) and are grass-grazers so they make excellent lawn-mowers.
Does anyone else out there keep #
sheep I would love to hear about your experience.
