Thought I’d post some pictures. I’m an old member w a new name. Changed up some things when I changed phones. Mostly intentionally.

Sorry about the double. I have some plain ewes who surprised me with nice lambs. Sire is above.

What kind of sheep do you have? They are beautiful.

Do the more colorful lambs bring more money than solid or plain sheep. The reason i am asking is we had a beautiful ram born and trying to decide whether or not to raise him for breeding or to just sell him.

These are Painted Desert sheep. They are a hair sheep which means they shed their fleece or may grow only hair in mild climates. There are several other breeds of hair sheep. We ask for and get more money for colorful sheep. Their fleece isn’t good for spinning, too tangled. And thank you.

Our Sheep are American Blackbelly and Katahdin Hairsheep. The ram lamb is a cross between the two breeds.

Me too. He looks nice.

That cross seems to make very colorful lambs from what I see of them. Looks good!
