I've had 5 Nubian goats and a total of 11 sheep, but all have since died except one - my Katahdin named Muffin. She is 16 years old now and lives with my chickens. She is missing some teeth and cannot eat regular hay now so she gets moistened hay cubes and pellets. She still tries to munch on grass but I don't know how much of that she can actually eat.



I recommend Katahdins to anyone looking to get sheep. They are friendly, very parasite-resistant, and don't require shearing. Mine hardly had any health problems and they love petting.

Goats, on the other hand, I recommend most people steer clear of!

I used to have Black Welsh Mountain sheep. They are easy to take care of and quite independent. I would don't recommend the rams. They are very aggressive.

I did "allow' my Corriedale ram to breed with the BWM ewes and they produced coal black lambs with beautiful fleece.

We have a black wool sheep but her coat has gotten so sun bleached that she looks more brown

Here is what Muffin looks like after she sheds most of her winter coat. Quite a big difference!
