Goats or sheep

[Going Quackers]

Shetlands are fabulous. All of the hardiness of a primitive breed and so many gorgeous colors and markings! Ii's hard to get tired of Shetland wool.

The only other advice I would add is this - parasites are the weak link of both sheep and goats. Learn all you can about parasite resistance and deworming methods for your animals. I currently check lower eyelid color and deworm only if an animal has a low FAMACHA score on the eye chart. But this may vary according to your geography, health of your stock, etc. Best of luck and let us know how you make out on this journey!
