kelpiegirl Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 Link: What kind of sheep are these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bo Peep Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 You got me. But most of them need some sheering. Badly taken care of sheep. Suffolk maybe? But by the lack of care of them. Only one shorne,(is that how you spell it?) it could be a complete Heinz 57. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Fosher Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 My guess would be Romney or a cross of Romney. They're a long-wooled breed, and this is how they look when they're in full fleece. They are ready to be shorn, but I wouldn't say that they are badly kept. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebecca, Irena Farm Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 Romney leister cross, I'd be willing to bet. I saw someone shear a wether that was that cross - they said the fleece was usually about 16 pounds! But I felt the underside of the fleece when they were done, the part next to the skin, and even though it was a hot day the fleece was hardly even body temperature.
