| Herdwick Sheep | |||||||||
| Herdwicks in the Lake District Herdwicks in the snow in Brookings,Oregon!  Good solid sheep. Very parasite resistant. Mainly raised for meat. The lambs wool is soft but as the sheep age they have wool resembling carpet! Great if you weave blankets or make rugs. Sheep meat is the original slow food. I don't fast raise my sheep for quick return. They are with their mothers for longer and they are raised only on grass and hay. I only give chemical wormer if necessary. Sheep work well for me as they are minimal care animals and in additionto the meat and wool and the neatly clipped pasture I use the manure on the garden and it is really paying off! So if you are thinking of adding a few animals to your homestead: Give Sheep a Chance! |
