My husband came home yesterday and told me that he'd heard about a teeny breed of sheep called Baby doll sheep, so I looked 'em up on the internet. They look cute, and I like the idea of them being so small, about the size of my pygmy goats. I'm wondering if sheep might be something I'd be interested in getttin some day? So that's why I'm posting here to y'all experts!
I have a couple pygmy goats and have heard that goats and sheep do fine together. This may be a stupid question, but I don't know crap about sheep so I'm gonna ask, will sheep and goats cross breed? I'm thinking no, but don't really know. And do you have to keep the male sheep seperated from the girl sheep like in goats, or do the ewes and rams stay together all the time?
How does one find out if there is a place to sell wool in their area of the country? I know you can sell it "at market" by the pound, I just don't know where that "market" is! Or do most people sell the wool to people for spinning, and if so, do you sell over the internet or just advertise?
I'm a vegetarian, so I don't care what they taste like, since I ain't gonna eat 'em! :haha:
So, tell me all about sheep raising, pro and cons! If I get sheep, it'll probably be the Baby Doll kind, so advice on them would be great!
