Ha... Recently found out that I am inheriting two Border Leicester rams after show season. I love the fleeces from this breed. As I don't want to deal with rams on a rampage, the guys will need to be "taken care of" before I actually put them in the pasture. I still want some ewes, just haven't settled on the breed.
I had sheep in the past, but the "uber" ewe just had the rest of them in palm of her hooves ! So, it was difficult to do anything with them. They were also meat breeds and at the time I just couldn't eat them. I ended up giving them to 4H kids to breed.
Now I want to concentrate more on breeding for fleeces, but still thinking about milk and meat as this makes more economic sense.
Will post the felting workshop later with pic...
