For sale: One or more starter flocks of Barbados Blackbelly. Three mature ewes with lambs by their sides, an unrelated ram, and a spare ewe lamb. These are top-notch genetics. Two of the mature ewes are from the Virginia State University (VSU) research flock. All of the lambs have VSU bloodlines in their pedigrees.

All lambs will be registered prior to delivery and I will try to provide them with names to your liking. My flock is enrolled in the voluntary scrapie certification program and is inspected by the USDA annually. They are very healthy sheep. I do not deworm, vaccinate, or use any chemicals on my sheep. You may view photos of the sheep at http://www.critterhaven.biz/

Terms of sale: 50% deposit reserves the sheep. Buyer pays for costs incurred for health certificate, including vet costs and any additional tests. Costs usually run around $125. Sheep must be picked up by June 1 or thereabouts (see note below re Ron Keener's transport).

Photos of all sheep plus their sire/dam, DOB, and scrapie resistance can be viewed at http://www.critterhaven.biz/sale/livestock.htm (Sheep are shedding right now and look awful; they will shed out sleek and shiney in a few weeks.)

Ron Keener is taking reservations now for his June/July transport so if you are interested in any of these sheep and want Ron to haul them, you need to contact him very soon. His rates have gone up a lot because of the surcharge for fuel. You can view his fee schedule at http://tinyurl.com/6nhfg3 and an addendum at http://tinyurl.com/6ph3vu . You need to belong to his Travel with Ron K Yahoo group to view these docs, however. It is at http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/TravelWithRonK/
