Ancarrow Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 Friends of mine (Rob & Cathy Robertson) are looking into African Tribal Sheep. Anyone have a source for them? I tried Sheep 101 and not showing as a breed in alphabetical listings, but I know they exist. Comment and/or email R&C with any info. @ bigvalleyranchhorses@yahoo.com or go to their website and email from there: bigvalleyranchva.com Thanks.

Mark Billadeau Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 Helmut Lang (writer of the Hair Sheep Reports column in Sheep!) raises African Tribal sheep. The magazine may have sources of this breed. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ancarrow Posted March 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 Thanks Mark, that is one of the issues I was missing. Cathy tried to call Helmut Lang, spoke with his son, I think and anyway after the conversation she said she hung up having not understood but a few words he said. His accent (?) was so thick she couldn't understand him. Cathy is too polite to have just told him that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Billadeau Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 You could also email Susan Schoenian (sheep 101, MD Small Ruminant, sheep & goat extension agent, etc); she is very helpful. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
