| 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!

Livestock Guardian Dogs
We have 3 dogs that live with the sheep. Steed and Emma and Mo.
They keep away predators. Mo is a Komondor and my guardian Angel.
I would love to find a female for Mo.
