[Jock Scot]

I, until recently, used to have 5000 of the damn things, the best advice I can give anyone about sheep, is don't bother! No doubt you will ignore this advice,so PM me if you think I could help with the odd helpful(?) tip or two!

5000? I suspect the only flocks that large here are out west. We kept 30-60 head on a small farm in Kentucky, enjoyed everything except killing predators. About every 7 years or so we had to shoot a lot of dogs, mostly strays, but occasionally a pet running with the others. Now guys around here keep Commodores and the like for that work. And the predator is now coyotes.

Lots of good info at the Universities and Ag extension offices, might try there if you are serious.

Any other secrets to reveal Jock?
