When my husband and I retired and moved to Missouri, raising anything other than horses was never in our minds. When I made a visit to the local quick change oil business I met a very friendly lady who raised sheep. My first question was, “Do you have any freezer lambs for sale?” and yes she did. I went over to see the lambs and I fell in love with these beautiful and very unusual sheep. I called my husband, who at the time had made a trip back to Illinois, and told him about the sheep and his answer was no way were we going to get sheep. Well, when he came back home I took him over to see the sheep and that was the start of our flock. We now have a small flock of fourteen ewes and two rams. This year we have twelve new lambs and all of the young ram lambs are four-horned. We have several pastures and rotate the girls between them and supplement their feeding with a grain ration and hay that we grow on our farm. |
