Some sheep can shed- no shearing!                                                                                                           Updated August 7, 2018

Sheep that can shed their wool are usually called  "hair sheep" or "hair breeds".  My small flock are hybrids with a lot of Dorper , Dorset and some Jacobs behind them.  There is also some Blackbelly in the bloodlines.   They are great for pets, herding practice or training and raising meat.   They are a small type of sheep with mature weights ranging from 125 to 200 pounds.  I like them because I don't have to shear their wool off in the spring or pay a "professional" to cut them to ribbons.  Ever see pink streaked sheep in the spring?  They were cut by the clippers when their wool was sheared.  Hair type sheep also don't need their tails docked.  Some of the ewes have horns and others don't.  Most of the rams have horns.

If you would like to try some of these sheep I do sell a few select weaned lambs in the summer and fall. 
Ram "rent" for breeding is available in the fall.  I'm sorry I can't predict if the first generation of your lambs out of wool ewes will be shedders or not. 

Please contact me for the current available lambs and sheep.

            I grow out ram lambs as long as possible before deciding to wether them around 2 months old.  Ram prices are in effect until I wether them.  Feel free to wether any you like after you buy them.  If they are still young/small enough I can band them for you at purchase.  A negotiable Non-refundable deposit can hold the sheep of your choice until you can pick it up or I can deliver.  For some lengths of stay I may ask for hay $ at $1 per head per day.
