Yup...I have to chime in here!!!! We originally thought we wanted goats since we were not into wool and shearing...did our research...went to visit nearby and farther out farms of goats and sheep...we both decided on sheep...then, found out about hair sheep...checked out different sheep breeders near us and it was love at first sight
Now I will not go into the whys and why nots here...don't want to start any fights...but sheep were for us one hundred per cent!!!!
I will admit that baby goats are adorable and when we help our neighbour with kidding problems and a poorly triplet...bottle feeding the wee thing, I do really think they are awesome too.
But...a newborn lamb...our adult sheep...yeah, we totally made the right decision for us. By the way, our neighbour with the goats spent some time with us and our sheep and lambs...called him when a ewe was in labour thinking his daughter would like to see that...he and his wife and daughter came over to watch and that was that for them. Petting our sheep did them in...so friendly, so sweet...each with its very own personality and call...they are now selling their goats and their sheep herd is up to 5. We took their ewes and our ram bred them, so babies for them this winter too.
It really is a personal thing...I love them both, but love sheep more
When I just had my Jacobs everyone kept telling me how much better goats were and how I should hurry up and get goats. Now I have goats and I still like my sheep more! They're such awesome little woolies
Bridge...I already voted for SHEEP on his poll...then went back to vote again, but it wouldn't take it...but I did try. I totally love my sheep and wouldn't trade a one of them for ten goats, truth be told
