The land I was grazing was sold so I sold my flock of sheep and, one year ago next month, I moved to a new, smaller town. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that quite a few families at my new Church raise Gulf Coast Sheep (my favorite breed) Since I don’t currently have the land to raise...

The whole flock, donkey included, have been sold and sent on to their new home together. I am grateful they're all together and in good hands. I'd like to thank this whole forum for the support I've gotten in my shepherding journey. I'll be hanging around, though, and hope to keep working with...

Actually, I was just contacted by a very promising potential buyer for the whole flock, so I don't think I will have to!

Thank you! They mean a lot to me, and I would love to see them continue to contribute to the breed so that I can buy their descendants some day, if I can get land of my own.

Thanks! The breed is Gulf Coast Native, originally derived from pre-merino Spanish sheep and related to the Florida Cracker. I am also going to be using Craigslist and other forums to advertise, but I figure sharing here too won't hurt!

I'm moving on to a different chapter in my life, and hope to find new stewards for my heritage breed sheep. I have one proven stud ram, two proven ewes, one yearling ewe who has not yet lambed, one 4-month old ram lamb with good breeding potential, and one affectionate and trustworthy livestock...

The smaller of the two died yesterday, but the other made it through the night. Here's hoping he pulls through.

Two of our three rabbits are showing signs of poisoning. Lethargy, limpness, slightly labored breathing, and diarrhea. Initially I thought that the source of the poison was mistletoe since one of the rabbits was caught nibbling on some the night before last, but the rabbit who was caught with...

Yes, thank you everyone. She and her big son are doing well. I feel silly for worrying now, but grateful for y'all and this forum.

My ewe Cherry (purchased pregnant in 2017, after having had at least one successful lambing. Thought to have been born in 2015.) gave birth to a healthy, big male singleton on December 4th. Ample milk, no problems noticed. However, her belly still seems very big, as though she were still...

I'm so sorry for your loss. Y'all are in my prayers. It's lovely to see the photos of you and your husband; you have obviously had a lot of love and fun together!

Belated Update: full-flock fecal tests showed some worm load, with three scores of 0/g, the two youngest lambs scoring 50/g, their mother showing 225/g, and another ewe showing 125/g. Diarrhea was possibly a temporary result of switching to richer pasture. Will work on controlling worms and...
