In addition, our tags are printed w our farm number, farm name, and the Scrapie number all on the tag. I order them from Premier1.

For catching our sheep, we use fencing that is like netting (fromPremier1) and slowly make it smaller, getting them into a corner. Then just grab them.

I would suggest getting Soay sheep. They take down coyotes (I've seen them do it), they shed their wool (good for using), are born with short tails so no docking, and eradicate poison ivy, poison oak, or anything in reach. Small, easy to handle, and cute as a button.

I have British Soay sheep, not goats, but hey, I love the horns. Yes, I've been rammed, knocked down, had to free them from fences, etc. Soay ewes and rams both have horns, but occasionally can also be polled. Very similar to goats. I cant tell you how many people have asked me about my "goats" ...

I breed and raise Registered British Soay sheep and some American Soay in southern Michigan. Tips are welcome!
