I don't know what your goals are anymore but I would not even consider that one for a herd sire.

Ok deffinitly will take that into high consideration. He does have others for sale

@Mike CHS i dont ththink ill go with him. The distance is too far and the tam isnt worth it. I got back in contact with the woman we bought our flock from previously and have decided to look at some of her unrelated rams. We are currently breeding for color and for size and quick growth. We added romeo who has nice color and throws low birth weights but has very quick growning lambs that get bigger than he is. We want bigger sturdier lambs that grow quickly but arent too strenuous for the ewes to birth.

Those are good goals.

So... news ive known was coming for a while now and have been dreading... my dad is selling the sheep including motley and queenie.

Is anyone still up for me visiting during a road trip? Im gonna need my fill of animal cuddles sooner than later plus ive been promising to do this for a while now and have kept procrastinating (sorry) i hope you all are in good health

Sorry about your Dad selling the sheep. I am sure he has his reasons. Yes, we are up to a visit from you! Would love to have you. You might want to visit a little closer to home to start with, but if you want to bring yourself to Texas, come on!

I'm really sorry about the sheep. Is he getting out of animals entirely?

Texas is REALLY HOT right now!
We'll be gone (only DD2 here to take care of animals) taking DD1 back to school then a few days in PEI. The trip starts Aug 30, returning home Sept 7

Dad is now just doing grower lambs so buying them young and feeding them till they are big enough to go to auction. I may aim for later on this year in fall. I need to save up a bit more first

When ever you get here. I imagine it might take you awhile......LOL You could start close to home, swing down south and visit your way along.
