[QUOTE="mml373, post: 1738706, member: 38746"] Appreciate all the replies, folks. I'm going to start with St. Croix and White Dorper and see how things go. Some have asked about fences and my health. I have high tensile perimeter fence, hot, with portable mesh type fence on the interior that is also hot. Rams and ewes are separate and will move onto new grass every few days once things grow up. As far as disability, a flu shot required by the military during my active duty years destroyed my spinal cord. A former competitive runner and fully fit and healthy, I can't run anymore or move too quick. I'm strong but don't have coordination and balance like I used to. My rams are OK to deal with now but I suspect when the ewes come into heat they will not be so nice. They have had a lot of handling before I got them, and I handle them every day. I won't have a very large operation, which will make it easier to personally engage with the animals daily than perhaps someone who's running a lot of sheep on big land. [/QUOTE]
