Title: First time sheep owner - which breed?
Post by: eah1n12 on April 09, 2017, 10:11:57 pm

So i'm moving to somewhere with land (about 1 acre) and was hoping to get some sheep (2-3).  Intention is for them to keep the grass down, then to also lamb them for meat as well.  I just don't know which is the best breed to go for.  At the moment I'm really interested in Border Leicesters and Zwartbles.  Does anyone have any advice for me on which breed to go for?
