We couldn't afford land in Oregon, so we moved to East Texas and are about to move to property and start sheep. We promised our kids lambs when we moved.

Given the sheer number of sheep in society, I'm quite used to them! 🐑

Twins can be pretty problematic in beef cows. Last year I did have a cow successfully raise twins but they grew slower obviously sharing the milk.
Most of the time you will lose a calf or both if you don't bottle one.
If a cow has a male and female twin the female typically won't be able to breed.

I really want to do this out here in New Mexico at my grandpa land but Im not too well versed in how to make the land more pasteurized

I have 3 Dorper X Suffolk sheep and I certainly wish they did eat weeds in preference to apple, grape, hazelnut and macadamia nut tree leaves. I’m looking to get rid of the sheep because they barely go for the weeds but go for fruit tree leaves and to erect electric fences is not something I’d consider. The 3 neutered male sheep came with the property when I bought it, but I now just want to get rid of them.

Depending on where you live deworming is incredibly necessary. You can lose your whole herd due to severe worm issues.

My goats are easy to handle but my sheep aren’t assholes. They stay in their pen 😂

Sheep are always looking for a spot to die. But the money you get back from them is worth raising them.
