Hi - good question. I would say no one can answer your questions on if you
picked the correct sheep or not but yourself. They are harder to sell and it
takes time to develop a market - when I started in goats - I had a couple of
dairy and decided I wanted to move to meat goats boer
There is a group of 4 brothers from Mexico who moved up here and started
a sandblasting and painting service. I trade my ram lambs to them for
sandblasting and painting of my equipment I trade for. I tried to sell
processed lamb through the OK food coop, but the orders were so small
each
Hi
Just to backup about t e processing - I can not, will not and do not - sell
processed meat. I also don't allow on the farm slaughter - but I do sell the
lamb and will for the cost of gas deliver to the butcher shop - they take if

Hello Shawna,
We raise Am. Blackbellies here in the high desert area of central OR. We
sell breeding stock, butcher stock, pet stock, weed control stock and some
sheep to the ethnic market during the holidays. We also have had good luck

Did you mean 30cc instead of 3cc? 2-3cc per feeding really is not
enough. I would try to get him to suck a bottle and take at least 20 cc
every 2 hours. If not then tube him with 20-30 about every 2 hours. He
needs to get a lot of nutrition right now since he is in a deficit...
Isn't it a great feeling to save a lamb!
As far as directions I think what you wrote below pretty much covers it.
The only thing I would have done different is probably closer to 12cc of
vegetable oil (but results is all that matters). I'm pretty sure you meant
3 ounces of milk and electrolytes
Ain't it great when they get OK It is one of the best rewards a
shepherd can get...

Cecil I need some people like that here in the McLoud/Shawnee area. I need some
stuff done and would love to get my horse trailer painted. I may have to see if
I can haggle more. You sound like a pro.
I sell some to ethic people that want to know what they are getting, some to
people wanting
