Came across two, 3 year old males for sale on craigslist. Owner says they got them for their 4h daughter but she only shows sheep now.

50$ for both. I picked them up already:p They were destined for dog food but my SO likes them and wants to keep them for mowers.

That's an excellent price. Do be aware that they need shearing twice a year to keep them healthy and comfortable though. It may make them more expensive mowers than you imagine.

I am aware :) Thanks for the reminder though!

We are shearing them this weekend because one is really matted. I was going to put them in freezer camp this weekend as well but Drew likes them so they will mower their little hearts out until we have space in the freezer.

Sorry if my above post sounded bitchy. I didn't mean it that way!

They do look like sheep. These guys are sweeties too. Drew is totally in love with them so I'm not sure when they will go to freezer camp.

I put some photos on my ranch journal if you want to see them :)

I know! I couldn't pass it up!

They guy also has a very handsome pygmy buck and two pygmy does for 100$. We might get them as well but I'm not really into pygmies.
