Winslows Australian Shepherds
Livestock -
Currently I am raising Katahdin-cross hair sheep for meat, rental (weed control), breeding and training. New to the flock are Soay sheep from the Isle of Soay in the St. Kilda group of islands off the coast of Scotland (Outer Hebrides). These are a rare breed and are fun and fiesty little sheep, ranging from 20 - 24" at the withers and about 45 - 70#s. The Katahdins will be bred to the Soay ram for training/meat production purposes only. The Soay ewes are purebred and will only be bred to Soay rams. The two separate breeds gives me different working types to train the dogs with. Both sets of training sheep are light enough to teach driving and Advanced work but easy enough for the young dogs to work too.
