That was interesting! Ive come to really like katadins, cause they thrive in my harsh environment and taste great . I was thinking about raising a couple wether suffolks ,for comparison on how they would do in my system. Feel like i heard the answer! Im steep rocky hillside no place for sheds. Never need to trim hooves or shear,dock or worm. Starting to get a larger frame on my ewes and mantaining, the toughness. Dorper and the crosses havent done so good. Think ill stick to what i got going and see tge resukts next couple seasons.
Suffolk was the breed I had. They did mature fast. One was too fast. She tried to give birth before she was a year old. The uterus inverted with the lambs head out. We slaughtered the ewe but saved the lamb that was very precocious and being born in January was ready for market early.
I'm so happy to see you back, Dan, I have missed you and Little Buddy. I'm so sorry for what you have had to go through, you didn't deserve that. I hope to see LB in your videos again, I can't imagine how much he will have grown since I last saw him.
💜If you were ready to raise sheep again, would you raise the same breed as before or would you choose differently? And if different, which breed would you choose and why? Totally off topic, you have a very soothing voice 👍
How did the Suffolk on the Katahdin do? I was thinking about that for our Katahdin ewes. Are they completely terminal or will the ewe lambs shed off and make a good ewe? Thanks.
Which is the best sheep breed for meat ? I heard the taste of the meat is different. I have looked at Suffolk and Texel. Any of you could advise me in any way because I want to start my own business and want to choose the right breed.
I'm loving the series. Thanks for doing this... I think there may be a lamb breed that I'm willing to try in my future... Maybe not the Suffolk, though!
Glad to see you putting this all together in this format. I know you put a lot into getting the footage and I'm sure many people will find it useful.
I hope!
I realize it's kinda off topic but does anyone know a good place to stream newly released series online ?
@Amir Darwin i use Flixzone. Just search on google for it :)

Awesome! I'm glad this was helpful.
I agree, Suffolks are the most beautiful sheep.
I hope you are soon able to get sheep once again.

Hi Hans! Long time no see!
So beautiful sheep
I read this document, stating that Suffolk is sometimes referred to as Downy Breed. Is it true?

I hope you are, and stay, well. Thanks from Australia 🐨🐨🦘🦘
Robin How many Rams have you? how many female sheep do you have?

Thank you (regarding my voice). I would totally get katahdins again. They were great
I used to show Suffolk sheep at the fair oh I miss it

I don't have any follow-up info
My parents had Suffolk Sheep. How do you compare the wool to other sheep? I do felting.
I don't know much about wool. I can't help you with that one. :(

Katahdin is my favorite

I agree! Suffolk is good for larger scale meat production, though

Because of these sheep’s black faces, I always think about Shaun and his flock when I see this breed.
pasture raised lambs will not reach the weights she says in the times she says.
