Dad got a few ewes from hus Uncle Gene years ago for a farm Flock after Gene hae had his own sheep company. He was partnered with Covey, Bagley , Datyon out of Ckeville Wyoming, that out fit ran tens of thousands of ewes. Well thier ram flock in te summer was bigger then alot of sheep out have ewes today.jeff in ca said:Jody, I am glad you are man enough to admit to being a sheep herder! LOL I am sure there are some closet sheepmen on here. I used to hay for a huge sheep outfit. guy always told me. "We run some cattle for pride, but sheep is what butters our bread"
per said:Lambs look really good. Coyote got one of ours yesterday morning. Penned the sheep overnight and the .204 caught the poor little morning housewife while she was shopping this morning. Now we'll see if the single father is a shopper or a deadbeat dad.
Shootings, theft and family issues. All the same societal problem we have in more densely populated areas. :? :shock:

Mine is course got $1.47/lb for the white, Think around 65 cents for the black face. have heard of some range flocks with really fine wool getting well over $3/lb this yearandybob said:Jodywy, how are the wool prices over there? the commercials hardly cover the cost of shearing here, the rare breeds make a margin because of the premium paid by hobby spinners.
If I keep any for myself again, I am goin toward Easycare or Dorper breeds.
