Free Alpacas Newsletter- How to Profit from Alpaca Farming

Re: [AlpacaTalk] re: hi from new member

hi Janice - i have baby-doll X romney sheep - they are a hoot,- like short-legged tanks - i got them for my grandsons and then my son moved his family across the country. My next door neighbors want them so I am trading my sheep for some alpaca-sitting while we go on a much needed holiday in April -
My ram and favourite herd-sire like to hang out together. They are definitely the "odd couple".

<<<<I'm so glad our sheep is okay after the kick too...I love her so
much, she's
2 years old but still our baby. She is just fine.
My next adventure is to find someone to shear my 4 alpacas for me, and to
help trim their hooves!

Who shears your sheep? The guy that shears my alpacas is actually a
sheep shearer, but when the alpaca people discovered his gentle ways, he
had a whole new clientele.
You can trim their hooves - that part's easy - it's getting them to
*let* you, or restraining them.
Do you trim your goat's hooves? I think its about the same, but I've
never had goats so don't really know. There are other people here that
have goats so I am sure they can tell you better than I.

Do you have your sheep for fiber? Or grass cutting :-).
I used to want some Baby Doll sheep, but haven't thought about it in a
long time.
