[blackbelly] Hello to All

[Rexesandroses]

Hello,

I just got my first Barbados sheep this spring, & I LOVE them.  I used to 
raise sheep many years ago, & when I found out about NO sheering & NO tail 
docking, I was sold!  I raised 4 ewe lambs as bottle babies so that they are 
tame, & 
I'm thoroughly enjoying them.  I also purchased 2 ram lambs, one for breeding 
& one for the freezer (but don't tell him that).
None are registered, & from what I've been reading, they are American due to 
the fact that the rams have horns, although one of the 1/2 brothers didn't get 
horns.  
 
I also have a question for everyone.  How young do you separate ram lambs 
from ewe lambs?  And at what age do you breed the ewe lambs?  This breed of 
sheep 
seems to be  somewhat different from anything else that I've ever raised, & I 
was wondering if it's younger than usual?
 
Thanks again for the invite, Carol.

Karen
Spokane, Wash.
