Hello Julian and welcome to the list. Where do you live in case someone on this list that raises Barbado sheep might be close to you? Also have you checked the Barbados Blackbelly Sheep Association International website at www.blackbellysheep.org ? They have animals for sale and a breeder's directory on their website.
As far as rams lambs that are bottle babies, when the little one gets bigger I would keep and eye out when you are in the same pasture. Use him for one or two breeding and see how he works out. I hope this helps. James E.

I have 8 (possibly/probably 9) ewes, all from the same source. I managed to find someone nearby who has unrelated blackbellys, but the only rams she had available were bottle babies. I took one home, and now I've been reading that bummer rams sometimes tend to have behavioral issues once their hormones kick in. What are my chances of getting this little guy off with the rest of my flock, and not be overly dangerous to anyone later in life? I don't know where I'll find another ram without driving 800+ miles, each way.
