Sheep Breed Selector

[BeccaJoVon]

No because the other selector is for uncommon breeds. Katahdins are a common breed. The selectors are separated based on the popularities of the breeds included; either common or uncommon.

Okay, I get it...finally. If I want to see what kind of sheep I should research, I should utilize both common and uncommon selectors.

Thanks for being patient with me!

Uncommon breeds, Texel, Panama and Clun Forest. Clun Forest has been on my top list for a long time but I also enjoy the Merino type C.

No problem

I like the Merino type C, as well. I've always wanted to try to breed type A Merinos up to type C status...but unfortunately there are very little type A's left in the world. But that would be a very long, expensive project! lol Also I've noticed that Merinos aren't very prevalent here in the U.S....there are some breeders who breed their stock for superfine wool, but boy are they pricey! Better just to stick with the populous Rambouillet...

I also like Texels--they are the best terminal sire for carcass quality (though the Suffolk trumps it for growth).

I knew my breed would not be in the first selector file...but on the "uncommon" list....I had a tie with "Perendales" and my breed.."Scottish Blackface".....I just love them.... call it a weakness! Had them for 16 years....tend to have them for another 16 years.... In a nutshell.......Breed and raise what YOU like.....I could NOT imagine my life with out my sheep.....
