I have reg. Nubians, although I haven't kept up on papers on last year's kids...behind times. Loud colored girls I have, and two unique blue roans. $125-150 w/ a free breeding of course. I have three bucks to choose from.
I think I'll skip the sheep...no more hard ones! I need easy *U* They are goreous though.
Thanks for all the info- and yes, I am totally blessed in the hay department. All around me- go pick it up inthe field is the best deal *U*

Friesland, of course, lol! These are the sweetest sheep I've ever owned, and I've had several different breeds of this and that. They're more goat like in terms of friendliness, but not quite so aggressive as a goat.
No, they're not easy keepers; at least not compared to some other breeds I've had. Alfalfa seems to be best for them, and a high quality grain. I've been feeding our local grass hay and beet pulp, though, and seem to be getting through okay. Not great, but okay. You've probably got better access to alfalfa and for a better price than we do here on the west side. Basically, they're a dairy animal and need to be fed like one.
Their milk is higher in solids than a goat, meaning you get greater yields in cheese making. It's also more nutritious than goat, higher in zinc, folic acid, the B vitamins more. The draw back is that they don't milk as heavy as goats, and their lactation length isn't as long. Typically, you'll get 400-600 lbs of milk per season with a good milking ewe. I'm hoping to get lambing to where I've got two ewes milking, one in the spring/summer, the other in the summer/fall. I don't like milking when it's cold, so will skip that, lol! But two ewes are more than enough to keep a family stocked up on cheese, ice cream and milk to drink.
Not in need of any goats here, but I may be able to find someone else over here who is. What do they normally sell for? Ages? Milk production? I've got a couple of friends who milk goats and they may be interested.

Oh my goodness yes! If you'll trade for a couple of Nubian goats *U* I have 15 girls right now...and hubby says some MUST go...
those lambs are adorable. I had not heard of dairy sheep before...have I been under a rock?! My goodness. I'm gonna check this out. I had heard of Freesian horses, but not sheep. Friesian, huh? Where do they originate from? Are they expensive? Easy keepers?

Dalyn, I'm milking East Friesian dairy sheep. Bessie was giving half gallon a day last year as a first time freshener. I suspect we'll get more this year. Shall I bring a breeding pair over for you when I head that direction later this year? 
Here's Bessie and her boys:

hmmmI am up for anything! What kind do you milk? I think I want to get one now. I wanted a camel, but hubby isn't so adventurous as me *U* Specially 'cause he pays the feed bill.
I did try to milk a mare once (for her sick colt) now that wasn't so fun. A retired race horse or Polish Arabian descent...a bit too wild for me.

If you think the advertising is good, try the soap 
Yes, I milk the sheep. Not sure it's much different than milking a goat. Get them up on the stand, feed them some grain and squirt, squirt, squirt into the bucket
