Okay, I am so totally confused. Is it kale or kelp that is good to feed the
sheep. In any case, I cannot find it at any feed store around here. They all
give me a funny look. Can someone, pretty please, give me brand names of the
stuff and the exact name of the place they purchase it from??

This is an article that appeared in a recent local publication. While
it doesn't directly pertain to sheep, it does fairly graphically
describe a groundswell of interest in wholesome, nutritious food that is
locally produced. I found it rather stunning, particularly since my

I don't have pure BB's, mine are mixed with dorper - so my experience may not
work for you - we sell all our rams at 2 months of age for $75 each. These
are to private individuals, usually in the Greek, Italian or Latin community.

Hi there!
We get involved with our "real" jobs and do not always get in on the
conversations on the list, but we *always* read them. First of all, thank
you, Julian, for your retraction. And thank you, Barb, for saying the
nice things about our farm. But just in case, anyone on the list missed
OK, just so everyone got that, the ewe with soremouth *DID NOT* come
from Storey's. I had been confused with something else she
said. What Barb *had* told me was that the Storeys have some of the
nicest sheep in the area. So again, I apologize profusely, not only
for my faux pas of posting p
Carr, I echo what Mark Wintermute said. The weight of a 2-year blackbelly
should be around 110-120 lb. Your best option would be to obtain a good ram
and try to breed the size back into your flock. At 18 months, rams will
have achieved most of their body weight, so I doubt that you will gain

Hi Carr,
I analyze your situation as follows:
Were your rams in good body score condition (meaty or skinny)? Has there
been ample good pasture? Have internal parasites been a problem? Do you
have a deficiency in nutrients in your area such as selenium? How
inter-related genetically is your fl
Feeder lambs - 50-90 lb. - $104.50-120.50. 90-130 lb. - $95-109.75
How much are your **finished** Blackbelly locker lambs going for? :o)
How much is your top quality breeding stock selling for?

Julian,
I once purchased a couple of sheep from Montana that had soremouth. It
was an isolated incident and it did not start on any farm in Oregon.

Here is a list of pricing for some blackbellies sold at auction in Meridian
, TX. I am open to suggestions, comments. Is there a better way? Should I
let the rams grow another year so that can gain more weight? These sold
were all rams. Free range rams, no supplements, hay in the winter. Very
Sorry, I meant that to go directly to Barb...

Liz and I will be there. It works out perfectly for a trip we were
already making! Are you intending this to be a swap/sale as well as
a get together?

PS: Was it the Storey farm you were saying sold you the sheep with
Soremouth? There is someone in Yakima selling a ram from them, an
