Wool is Worthless
The backbreaking job of shearing sheep yourself or paying someone $4 or more to shear a sheep is ridiculous today.
We have sold our wool sheep and are concentrating on being one of Southern WV's premier farms for common-sense, market driven sheep.
We are using White Dorper and White Dorper/Katahdin ewes. We are breeding to a heavy muscled, easy-lambing White Dorper Ram.
We are purchasing more White Dorper ewes and will have excellent commericail ewe lambs for sale by Spring 2012. Each year we plan to sell off our 7-8 year old bred ewes. This would be an excellent way for you to get started in the sheep business.
Our breeding stock can be traced to the following farms/producers
Dave Anderson of Kegley, WV
Dave Redwine of Scott Co, VA
KY Grassland Dorpers of
Elizabethtown, KY
Hamilton Sheep Station, Hamilton TX
Big, deep-bodied ewes that shed wool, raise big lambs, and are easy keepers
