Building A Small Farm | Sheep

Great post, I enjoyed the read.

I've been raising livestock for years, but just recently got into sheep as well within the past year. Its been a fun and interesting journey so far.

Have you considered haired sheep instead of the wool varieties? Katahdins are what I raise and they grow rather fast, are popular as a meat breed, and you don't have to worry about shearing them.

Aha, that's interesting. There's the wiltshire horned sheep as well which has a woolen coat but sheds it naturally. I haven't done a vast amount of research yet as it's probably still some time away - but good point!

Nice, I'll have to check them out. Best of luck to you on your ventures with getting everything ready with the farm!

Thank you!
