We are considering buying some "wooly lawnmowers" for our new acreage. At this point in time I would rather not get a horse as I do not have time for one but, we were thinking that sheep would be a better option. Only one problem.. I am a farm girl born and raised but.. I have no experience with sheep. Is there anyone on the list that can point me in the right direction as to what we should be looking for as far as, ease of care, the kind of breeder to buy from, the breed to buy and what testing should be done on breeding stock? Our place is fenced for dogs and sheep so that is one hurdle (sty) cross LOL Thanks in advance, Diane (who would like herding titles on her dog LOL) Diane and David Kingston Aviator German Shepherds http://www.aviatorgsd.com ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2005.
