[QUOTE="fenceman, post: 1247432, member: 23460"] Depending on time of year.we run a herd of 50 ,to 100 Barbados sheep. Almost all rams.My uncle runs about 300. The market for them here is high fenced hunting resorts. We actually have a monthly auction barn that caters to this market. Deer,elk ,zebra,African antelope,exotic sheep etc. We buy young rams at commercial auction as slaughter lambs and turn them out . It takes 2 to 3 years for them to reach shooter or trophy status. The last bunch I sold averaged out about 450 I think I had about 50 a head and 3 years in them. We don't feed them nothing, they will eat anything except the fence. Only real problem is keeping coyote out of them.My uncle s been doing this about 25 years, I've been doing it about 10.The hunting resorts have order buyers. Some actually don't buy until they have a hunt booked.it's amazing to me what some people will spend money on. [/QUOTE]
