In my humble opinion sheep are farm animals and not pets; therefore, I never
give them names. If names are required for registration, then simple numbers
like: 13A1,13 for the year, A for the ewe, and 1 for number in the liter.

Two questions, Michael: do you really have to keep so many rams together? It
seems like sure, eventual death for the weakest of them. Secondly, they all
have beautiful, double-curled horns. I don't see that very often so wonder if
you find them to be more valuable?

Carol, this is the first time I've heard of a 3-year age put on good-tasting
meat. Is that for real cuz I've never tried lamb over 13 months. Secondly,
would this only apply to your Barbados Blackbellies or possibly the American
Blackbellies, too? And finally, what does the meat taste like
to eat?
I have put a set of solar panels inside the pasture about 4' off the ground and
so far they've not bothered them. I know if I had goats they'd be jumping all
over them! But for the sheep, so far, they simply enjoy the added place of
shade.
