Excellent opportunity to acquire a starter flock of purebred Barbados
Blackbelly sheep. I am selling four young, bred ewes and an
unrelated* ram. I have too many ewes and need to downsize the flock a
little. The ewes have been bred to two different rams, assuring you a
good genetic mix when they lamb. All sheep are registered and
represent established bloodlines from the purebred flock at Virginia
State University and from lines developed at Critterhaven by
selecting for large body, long loin, and smooth heads. I do not
vaccinate or deworm, so my sheep are extremely parasite tolerate and
disease resistant.

I do not often have starter flocks available, and I am the most
western breeder of Barbados Blackbelly sheep in the U.S. Ron Keener
is planning another cross-country delivery trip, so this would be a
good time to reserve space to transport this flock to your farm. The
flock will be ready for transport January 1, 2011.
The ewes will lamb beginning mid-April and you can expect 4 to 8
lambs, essentially doubling your flock and doubling your initial
investment (try getting value like that at your bank!).
*Ram is half-brother to one of the ewes, which will not be a problem.
