California Reds anyone?

[PinkFox]

theres somethign about this breed that realy apeals to me form everythingive seen and read, but would LOVE to hear some first han experience.

looking for a nice medium-large size breed, tening to be mellow potential for light milk production but primarily nice wool for a beginner hand spinner...
these pretty sheep SEEM to fit all my wants and needs an supposedly have amazing personalities to match...

so is anyone here owned by these pretty sheepies?

No but I wish. Back when I was thinking about being breed specific they were one of my top picks.

they seem realy hard to find, ive ontacted 2 people locally and had no responce back...*grr arg* lol.
arnt they pretty!?

I found three or four people within a couple of hours drive, but I never contacted them so I don't know if the websites were current. Good luck Ild like to hear about them.

looks like ive found someone local, asked them to put me on thier list for spring lambs (fingers crossed)

I have always liked them. I have a Katahdin x Barbados ewe that looks just like a california Red. I also think they are pretty rare when I was looking I couldn't find any

ive got a ewe and unrelated ram lamb and possible a 2nd ewe lamb on hold for feb/march...
ill tell you, finding (and getting a respnce) from a breeder was TOUGH...ill be traveling a bit of a distance for these 3 but least ive got a while to get everything sorted...SOOO excited!
