Thanks for all the great ideas - Yep, I knew it came down to decent facilities for the most part. I've just found myself in a spot where I needed to handle the sheep before I was well enough set up. Steve, I'm in Oregon, so I don't reckon you can hop over and help me catch these critters! :o) I am about to go to the feed store and pick up some supplies to get started building.
Ya know, I have to be honest, the unit price of the average Barbado doesn't seem in line with the cost of keeping, raising and selling them. I am a little mystified, considering these sheep are somewhat "exotic," that they seem to sell well below the cost of a decent individual of a wool/meat breed. This may be a very contentious subject, and I don't want to create an uproar, but I WOULD be interested to hear other owners' perceptions of the market price of these critters. Lastly, I am wondering if anyone has had injection site reactions to Covexin-8?
