Thanks!! :)

Thanks, I give them enough hay at each feeding that they always have something to munch on, so I suppose I should say that they get free choice hay, not that I feed twice a day :) I do have a loose mineral, but I need to get some kind of heavier feeder to put it in that they can't knock over, it...

Hello all! My husband and I live in Central Oregon, and just recently got into sheep. I've raised Faverolles chickens for many years, and used to be a very active member on BYC. Just trying to glean as much info as I can from all sources, and remembered about BYH, so here I am! My ewes look...

We'll be butchering our first lambs this year...what cuts do you all typically get done?
