New Direction

Our goal with our hobby farm is to allow the animals support themselves and help feed us.  So far the only animals that have done that is our sheep.  The sheep that we got because we didn't want to mow our lawn.  But we have ended up with only a young ram that I am not happy with.  
The breeder we bought the Pelibuey's from has moved and we can not find more.  


It has been 6 months since we had any lambs born. 
 I MISS baby sheep.  

Our ram is the last one born after I got rid of his dad after he became too aggressive.
He is pretty but small and his horns are not growing well.
I'm just not thrilled with him.  
When he tries to get loving with the girls they walk away from him or chase him away.

We need the money from selling sheep to help keep the farm performing AND watching the lambs while working on the property make it more fun.  

We have been looking for a new direction to take the sheep in.  
We decided on Painted Desert Sheep. 
Today we bought 3 Painted Desert Sheep.
