They may be unhappy but at least they are comfortable.

Are those Barbados or American?
Either way they are beautiful! I love that breed.

American I think. Thats what I was told anyway. Now that I have them I'm thinking I want to go towards dorper. I wonder what a dorper ewe would turn out crossed with my ram?

They are not that large. Pretty small really. The ewes are as tall as a big lab. Soaking wet my biggest ewe is around 75 pounds or so.
The ram may be around 90 or so.

They are quite hardy.
But they are not friendly and do not have any desire to get close to you.
I have to gather them in a catch pen and corner them in order to do standard maint.
But thats when the size thing is nice.
If they were much bigger this would be an issue
I am going to build a chute to push em into so that I can give shots without having to manhandle em too much.
