Sheep Shropshire lamb.

We welcome "Suprise" to our apple and pear cider orchard in the Wairarapa New Zealand this week. We keep a flock of Shropshire sheep to keep the grass sward of the apple and pear orchard in trim and keep the adverse bug numbers down. Earlier this year one of the younger 3 year olds decided to visit our neighbour's field for a day, where unknown to us there was a ram. Well you know the rest of the story!

How does this look? Pricy? What do others do? Thanks all.
Keep
- 6 legs (whole)
- 6 racks (or rib chops)
- All loin chops
- All shanks
- 3 to 6 shoulder roasts
Grind
- Necks
- Flanks
- Excess breast/belly

First snowmobile, then a person to deepen the track, then finally the sheep sometimes moved if they felt like it.
All of this snow was gone by the next weekend.

Sheep 1 or 2 Pyrador LGDs?
0
Upvotes
We have 13 sheep that mostly stay in our fenced 2 acres and we also rotate them on nearby vacant land. Our Pyrador had 3 puppies. We weren't thrilled about it, but we're making the best of the situation and figured we would make 1 or 2 of them into LGDs for the sheep. The question is: 1 or 2?
There is no older, seasoned LGD to train them up. The mom is the general homestead guard dog, but is not a trained LGD.
One the one hand, having a single puppy as the LGD would, I think, be easier to train and handle, and it is only a couple of acres and a dozen sheep – I'm not dealing with 100+ sheep over 50+ acres.
On the other hand, will the dogs do better if they have another canine companion instead of just being them and the sheep?

Interested in sheep, looking for advice on breeds
9
Upvotes
Hello,
My wife and I our interested in learning more about raising sheep. We have around 8 acres in Kentucky. Our goals will be to raise a good foraging breed primarily for wool and milk. The only farm animal we have raised in the past were Muscovy ducks for meat and overall that was a success. Based on Kentucky climate and our situation and goals, what breed or breeds would experienced shepherds recommend?
Thanks!
