[Blackbelly] Sheep Sale Ads
Hi Carol, I've used the local Craigslist to advertise my sheep for sale. I've also had luck posting a flyer at the local feed stores. Most of them have free bulletin boards for sale ads. I tried an ad in the Thrifty Nickel which cost money to advertise...and I didn't have any response at all. My best luck, actually, has been my sale ads on the BBSAI Web site.

Re: [blackbelly] for sale
Morning Rick, I found the same here for the 4-H. The kids can only show in Showmanship and Breed Classes with Blackbellys or any other breed of sheep. I have seen breeds other then market breeds go into the Breed Classes and the judges have no idea what the breed the kids are showing were. The kids don't stand a chance either if they want to be different then the norm. I have spent 3 years trying to change this attitude in 4-H sheep judging to no avail. If it doesn't look like a Suffolk it must not be a sheep!!

She is too small for my flock, but would make a great pet for someone. Auburn is half an hour east of Sacramento. Call me or email me and I'll email a family picture. Talk about too small, I heard a curious thing today when a 4-H youngster asked me about raising one of my sheep for Auburn's September county fair. I learned from him that lambs at our fair had to meet the minimum requirement of 80 pounds! No wonder kids can never show Blackbellies!

Re: [blackbelly] for sale
Would county or state fairs have objections to exhibits that were not competeing? I noticed at my county's fair last year that there were no meat goats-- just dairy breeds. All the sheep were woolies. One lady had a Scottish Highland cow and her calf there-- but I believe it was entered as a beef contender. There is one person who brings Irish Dexter's-- and has a stand-up display of them working under yoke. Getting a bunch of rare breeds together under one tent, so to speak, may be a great way to spread the word about other issues-- to more than just agricultural people! And if the animals have been handled so that they are docile (with and without horns)and socialized to the experience, then that is all the better for ambassadorship.

Re: [blackbelly] for sale
I figure do what the alpaca people did In other words-- create a demand!!! But not on the Alpaca scale--Quite frankly, I like Alpaca. llamas, etc-- but I am NOT going to pay the equivalent of what, for me, is two years of income for one animal! I will visit my extension office tomorrow and see if maybe I can get a foot into the 4-H door. There is not a lot of real animal agriculture going on in this county-- but the two neighboring counties are pretty much nothing but rural. A friend passed on to me, via e-mail, an article on how the mini-cows can actually be used to produce more beef per acre than a full-sized cow, and I am thinking that would be a great way to sell the smaller hair sheep to the bigger is better mentality. Sheep are a bit smaller boned, proportionately, and they reproduce a lot faster!!!

I am also considering rare breed rabbits. Maybe I can go through the ALBC membership directory, and Borrow a few other breeds/species for display purposes only for my local fairs-- there are four on four consecutive weekends here-- and one of them is THE GREAT GEAUGA COUNTY FAIR!!! ( Last fair of the year in Ohio. Always well attended-- AND the one of the two local ones that the AMISH attend. And I already know that those communities are looking for something to help with their farm economics- a few are already raising goats for the ethnic markets, but have few resources to get them there! And I can help with that! Terry --- Susan Smith [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I agree that is a great idea Terry! Speaking from my own experience about puting up an exibit like that at a 4-H Fair, I ran into a bunch of well, we'll have to ask the fair board, or there is no monies for extra exibits, etc. There was so much of that I just quit trying. Not that you all should quit, but after 3 years of it I just decided to quit trying. I even tried to give preimuns to the children who won in all breed classes as an incentive to show other breeds of sheep, including Blackbellys and 4-H wouldn't let me. If you could get a lot of people together who have different breeds of anything animal wise then go for it. I still believe there is a place for Blackbellys at the fairs.
