Just a thought and would be very interested in what others say on this list; One of the reasons we chose BB's, was the easy no special care aspects of the breed. No worming or handle needed. Birthing was basically left for the animal in the field. No foot disease, no shearing.
I've been reading on this list since we have subscribed to it, the birthing problems, and worming problems, problems with aggressive rams, and so on. Do you think these sheep are being domesticated to much? and once they are domesticated wont they have the same problems the woollies have I'm wondering if to many people are raising this breed of sheep to be domestic pets, not let them eat, birth and graze like they did in the wild, with the exception or being watched ~ monitored or what ever you want to call our maintenance of the animals. Just a thought and look forward to different opinions. And by no means do I intend to offend anyone.
