WC Iowa | The high price of cows has us considering adding a few sheep back into our operation. Had wool sheep 10-15 years ago but they got sold when I went to college. We don't have much for permanent fence and rely heavily on electric for the cows. We do have a rotational grazing setup with double high tinsel electric. I strongly remember wool sheep putting their heads down and running under electric wires. Maybe the high tinsel would work better as it seems to give a better shock?
Would hair sheep respect electric wire better or do they still require a good fence? Do hair sheep bring similar prices or is there a discount compared to wool? Are certain breeds better than others marketing wise? How about mothering ability and lambing rate?
Thanks for any suggestions. | |
