Shepherdess Robin McNall-Ross raises both Suffolk sheep and Katahdins (hair sheep). She discusses her experience raising Suffolks and how they compare to Katahdin sheep.
I'm so happy to see you back, Dan, I have missed you and Little Buddy. I'm so sorry for what you have had to go through, you didn't deserve that. I hope to see LB in your videos again, I can't imagine how much he will have grown since I last saw him.
Suffolk was the breed I had. They did mature fast. One was too fast. She tried to give birth before she was a year old. The uterus inverted with the lambs head out. We slaughtered the ewe but saved the lamb that was very precocious and being born in January was ready for market early.
💜If you were ready to raise sheep again, would you raise the same breed as before or would you choose differently? And if different, which breed would you choose and why? Totally off topic, you have a very soothing voice 👍
I'm loving the series. Thanks for doing this... I think there may be a lamb breed that I'm willing to try in my future... Maybe not the Suffolk, though!
How did the Suffolk on the Katahdin do? I was thinking about that for our Katahdin ewes. Are they completely terminal or will the ewe lambs shed off and make a good ewe? Thanks.
Which is the best sheep breed for meat ? I heard the taste of the meat is different. I have looked at Suffolk and Texel. Any of you could advise me in any way because I want to start my own business and want to choose the right breed.
Glad to see you putting this all together in this format. I know you put a lot into getting the footage and I'm sure many people will find it useful.
I hope!
I realize it's kinda off topic but does anyone know a good place to stream newly released series online ?

Hi Hans! Long time no see!

I agree, Suffolks are the most beautiful sheep.
I hope you are soon able to get sheep once again.
Thank you Dan, lovin' the sheep series! :)

Thank you (regarding my voice). I would totally get katahdins again. They were great

I agree! Suffolk is good for larger scale meat production, though
I read this document, stating that Suffolk is sometimes referred to as Downy Breed. Is it true?
Robin How many Rams have you? how many female sheep do you have?

I don't have any follow-up info

Because of these sheep’s black faces, I always think about Shaun and his flock when I see this breed.
pasture raised lambs will not reach the weights she says in the times she says.
