Just to entertain my thoughts and because I'm super super bored....
Does anyone here know anything about or actually raise/keep sheep?
Within the next 10 years hopefully I want to acquire a small plot (around 15 acres) of land near the interior of the province that is appropriate for livestock and comfortable living (kinda tired of cities...). And I really want a hatchery and to keep sheep.
I don't plan on having a huge flock. I know their basic feed and space requirements and that if it's a larger amount of sheep I will need herding skills, a herding dog and preferably a LGD as well (which I have and will probably continue to have in the future). Does anyone on here actually have any though or know about the differences in the breeds of sheep?
I really like the look of the Cheviot, Karakul, and Hampshire sheep.
So damned fluffy!
