What's your favorite Sheep breeds?

[Beekissed]

I like most any of the hair breeds except the white Dorpers. If I had to choose any one kind I'd choose Katahdins but I really like the Kats crossed with the other hair breeds also.

I'd really like to have a Katahdin herd with either a BB or Painted Desert Sheep ram ram to breed over them.

Dorpers are nice.

Kathadins and Dorpers! Let's see if I can post a funny photo of our previous ram (got dangerous and now have a new ram) and his love object...

Kathadins and Black Faced Dorpers I have and like.

That is what I have also. I like them. They are pretty low maintenance. And eat weeds like goats.

I have never had sheep before so these are the only breeds I have experience with.

Yeah, these are my first too. They eat like a lawnmower well just about anything in their path. Kat x Dorper mixes seem to be popular. I like several wool breeds but I don't want to shear them, though I recently got two Black Welsh ewes but it won't be too much hassle to cut them in the spring.

With more research I keep changing my mind. I want more Sheep.
