Well, in that case I wouldn't worry so much about shearing them soon (ish). Have a great weekend. Come visit me, CSE.

Hm, I kept them in a more temperate climate but I would have to say that in my experience we sheared them shortly before they would naturally lose their hair and that would in spring. So, in that case, they would have short coats anyway! They are hardy animals but I do recommend a shelter if you shear them and then have freezing snowy weather. Come visit me, CSE.

Hi
Thanks for the warm welcome! Actually my sheep are hair sheep so they don't give wool. They are a meat sheep and also used for maintaining grass ares that are hard to get to for mowing. Mine do a wonderful job. You are so right about the Aussies. My little girl took to herding right away. The sheep keep her busy but she enjoys making sure the horses "stay in" the pasture and the ducks stay together. She is still a pup 11 months and loves to run through a flock of chickens scattering them all over. What type and breed of goats are you looking at? I am interested in them too. I am wanting dairy goats.Come visit me, So Blessed Farm.
