[blackbelly] Breeding kissing cousins

2007-04-14 Thread Chris Eileen
Hello,
What is your opinion on breeding sheep that share one parent. In 
starting my little herd, I could get a ram that was siered by the same 
ram as the ewes.
Next question, the ram and ewes are lambs. I kind of want to wait a bit 
to get everyone going to give me more time to learn :-) Any concerns 
having a young ram? Is it better to get an older ram to see the traits 
he will have when mature?
Thanks so much to all of you!
 Eileen

Thanks to all for your help in trying to determine what was wrong with
this ewe. Sorry to say she had to be put down
Lambs are doing great on the bottle. They will be well cared for and
live a great life
Thanks again to all for your help and concern

Does anyone keep other animals, particularly horses, in with their sheep

herds? My interest in sheep partially comes from my desire for 
companionship for my horse. Any problems with the rams and the other 
animals?
 Thanks,
  Eileen

I think that the best companion for your horse would be another horse.  
I do have a couple of older horses in with some of my sheep.  They 
don't usually hang out together.  Except for the ram, who has been a 
little forward with the horses - they don't seem to like him.

I had a feeling this was the direction the ewe was heading.  Like Cecil
said, diagnosing over the internet with just a little information is
very
difficult.

I'm forwarding this from Jim Fallis regarding his ewe:

Well
Sad end to the latest saga at the Fallis Barbado Farm
We were not able to save the ewe that was down. The twins were born 
over the weekend. We had no idea she actually had tripplets. We 
discovered her down Tuesday. By that time the dead fetus had began 
to decay and swell. We attempted to extract, but just not enough 
room and the ewe was too infected by the poision of the decaying fetus.
I had the vet put her down and get her out of her misery. Now I have 
2 bottle babies on my hands. They will be loved and cared for very
well.
Thanks to all for your interest and mostly your concern and caring.

We had 1 horse in with the sheep and now the horse is gone!!  I saw him 
actually pick a full grown ewe up by the back of the neck and THROW her 
across the field.  He didn't like to share the hay or feed, and  was 
pestered by the lambs.  I was terrified

[blackbelly] Late Friday Sales-Another Price Change

2007-04-14 Thread First Class Transport
After our price increase last week, we received a lot of feedback and we are
listening to you. We have come up with a new pricing plan that is two fold. 
First, we have dropped our first animal prices back down and only increased
the additional animal prices.
Second, we will beat any transport quote you are given. Just forward your
quote and the DOT number of the transporter that gave you the quote to us
and we will beat their price by $50. 
We are committed to affordable small animal transport while continuing the
high quality service you have come to expect from us. 
Our route page has been updated as well as our pricing calculator page. 
Rick is midway into the April route. He is in Bismarck, ND tonight.
The May route is still forming and we are set p to take reservations for
June now.
If you have any questions or are in need of transport, you can reach me at 
Service @FCTransport.com or 208-863-5377 Monday through Friday from 9 am to
5 pm MST.

Thank you,
