Yes, I think you're right. But $200 for a ram isn't bad, even if he's
not registerable, if you have a good market for lamb meat. He is a
well-built guy and should make good sons. We blackbelly breeders are
fortunate that we raise the best tasting meat available. Far superior
to any other breed of sheep and better than beef (IMO). There is a
good niche market out there if you take the time to develop it. You
can get top dollar for your meat if you market it to the people who
care about quality--and who can afford to pay for it.

It is hard to tell if it is the price for just the ram or for all
four. When I first read it I though they were selling just the ram.

But for someone who simply wants to enjoy the benefits of raising
the most beautiful sheep in the world with superb meat quality, this
group would be a steal. I regularly sell my freezer lamb for $350
for a 90-lb ram lamb. $200 for four sheep is a good bargain.
