These are St. Croix. F1 females make great commercial ewes bred back to a terminal ram. We have the background of about 6 or 7 generations of breeding stock that we have never needed to worm. A closed flock book so the crosses really enjoy hybrid vigor.cowboy43":2gf64768 said:How many breeds of hair sheep are there? The only breed I know of is the Katahdin Breed developed in Maine In the fifty's. I have a friend who sold his goats and sheep and replaced with Katahdin He says they are easier to maintain , He sells them at the local cattle auction and they bring top dollar.
I have not seen sheep or goats discussed on this board , must not be many that raise sheep.
