Bottle Baby Katahdin Sheep - Should I get? - PICS added

[ThreeBoysChicks]

So how much replacer do you feed at a time and how often per day? We have negotiated to $200 for the 2. My son and I are going to go to their farm this Saturday to help feed the bottle baby lambs and goats to get some experience and get a better feel for what is involved. In addition, the breeder said if we run into any issues to call them, they are 20 minutes away and will come over and give us a hand.

Here are pics of the 2 that I am considering. What do you think?

Since you are new to sheep I think this is great! They can also show you how to keep the hooves trimmed later on. The owners would be the people to tell you what and how often to feed. Don't overfeed, that is a common mistake with new owners.
While you are there ask the which medications to keep on hand. Electrolytes, probios..etc...And which shots and minerals they recomend.
They are very cute! Have Fun!​

I am now paying $200 for the pair instead of $300. The breeder does not band boys, he prefers surgical castration at4 months of age and he will do my boy for free at that time. Found out he is a medical doctor.

I know the price is high, but I greatly appreciate all of the assitance he has already given us and the fact that he will be available to us going forward.
