Sheep and Goats and other live stock
Just thought I would share what we are raising. We have a mixed bag of hair sheep. We started with 3 barbados females and got a Katahdin cross ram to breed them to. We have since lost him to a lightning storm(he got struck) and used a St Croix ram for one breeding cycle. His offspring have been hitting the ground since early Dec and so far we have 15 lambs. The Romanov Sheep(we have two females) are doing quite well. one produced triplets and the other is still pregnant.
I am also getting into milk goats. I now have a pair of registered Nigerian Dwarfs and we have one pure Nubian, 3 boar Nubian/milk cross nannies and a new milk cross we just bought. One of the Boar cross girls gave us twin nannies bred to a pure Nubian buck. All the Girls but the newest and ND are bred to him... So we are waiting to see what we get!!!
We also are raising a few calves to eat. We hauled one last week to be trained for BBQ.
I hope you all are having as much fun working on your farms as we are on ours!
