Title: Anybody know about sheep Post by: mikeymike on March 14, 2015, 08:13:12 PM Hi
I have access to ten acres of quality pasture land and am thinking of buying a flock of sheep, probably between 50 - 100, can anybody recommend a breed that is fairly hardy. I am not looking to make any profit from this venture its more a hobby.
