1st meat sheep born this year. We lost most all our baby Goats and lambs last year to our new neighbors dogs. We saved Pete’s life, by moving him and his mother to my rental property in Caplinger; we put them with my renters animals.

Now we have another property in Collins, we can move the mother’s and their young there. We don’t have enough fencing to move them all yet, full time; but at least we can keep the neighbors dogs in Stockton from killing anymore of our livestock.

We moved all our birds, what was left of them that is; and we are temporary moving sheep and goat mother’s and the babies… till the babies are weaned and big enough to move back to Stockton. Once they are weaned, we will move the mom’s back. Once the babies are big enough to protect against predators, we will move them back as well.

Maybe someday, if I dont sell the Stockton property; ill get emus and donkeys for livestock guardians. They will kill dogs and coyotes.

I will be wethering them between 4 and 5 month old. So if you want a Buck or Ram, let me know beforehand. I’ll be weaning and castrating about the same time.

it says Goats in the screenshot, but sheep and goats generally fall under the same rules. With a few exceptions; like feed, and health problems. Sheep can’t have very much copper, where Goats need it. Sheep are more prone to death, and are less parasite resistant.
