[QUOTE="Beefeater, post: 1597080, member: 25588"] I’ve had about a dozen for 4 years now (Katahdins). Thought I wanted Dorpers, but kept hearing about too many parasite issues. No shearing required and they’ll forage like goats if you have brushy areas. Very low maintenance - about all I really do is trim their hooves once a year. No wormers, shearing and don’t even have to dock their tails. They need shelter and a good clean place to lamb depending on when you want to lamb. Most of mine are sold for meat off the farm or breeding stock. USDA will want you to have some special ear tags. The bad - they smell like sheep. [/QUOTE]
