They do best in pairs or small groups. They're social animals, much like horses.

Not only will they give you soft, beautiful wool, but they're known to eat weeds. Many farm owners do multi-species grazing, which allows plants to be eaten down. Your horse fields will be healthier! There's plenty of benefits to these sheep. Cowgirl HotlistEmail address:* CommentsThis field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.
