Found another farm near Ames, Ia
They have Dorper/Kat crosses, which look great.

Remind me NEVER to let you near my check book if you are ever near me.

My job is done.

Found tons of breeders in Iowa. Just only a few have herds of any size, ugh.

Well the wife and I visited a few Katahdin farms today and agreed they look like a good purchase, we put in an order from a few farms for fifty ewes. We will be buying four rams from out of state and they won't arrive till spring as all the ewes are pregnants.

Congrats!

Congratulations on your new sheep! BAHHHHH means GOOD FOR YOU! Wishing you success. Keep us posted. Since I will not have 50 heads, I'm looking at wool sheep. Food and wool, that's the ticket.

Congrats! That sounds exciting! So that means you are going to have lots of lambs!

Yup, already have the first few in an isolated pen. Hmmm, I wonder if they will want pictures?
