Re: [Blackbelly] Also new here:)
welcome: This is a great list. Everyone is always quick to help with a problem. I would like to give you a little free advice. Do not depend on 5 strands of electric fence to keep your sheep in. They can go through a hot wire as fast as any wire. Their hair/woll will insulate them. the rams will duck their heads and let the horns hit the wire, then when they are halfway threough the charger will energize again, and it gives them a boost to go on through. I spent over $1500 on electric fences just to later install hog wire over it.

Re: [Blackbelly] Also new here:)
Welcome to the list. You will find this a great resource, with many really helpful people. I've been at this for just a year, and have 5 ABB ewes, as well as 2 rams and 5 assorted wooly sheep. I work Border Collies, and found that mixing in a group of calmer woolies makes it easier to break the ABB ewes. Just getting ready for our first crop of lambs, and then hope to build and maintain a small herd of workable sheep. The Abb's respond well to lots of handling and attention.
