what is the best milking sheep breed it also has to give good wool and breed well
i was thinking about the Tunis breed; is their wool soft
 
I am pretty sure freasians are the only decent sheep breed for milking not sure about their wool quality.

PM MissPriss, she has a dairy sheep operation at her place! I am interested in dairy sheep as well, but would like to breed for dairy and hair sheep qualities, so as not to have to shear.
 
The only milking breeds that I know of are:
*Frieslands
*Dorsets
*Lacaunes
*British Milksheep

www.sheepdairying.com might have some more info

I dont know how their wool is though. I did a project on milk sheep breeds a few years ago
