Hey guys I have finally decided to purchase some of these sheep and turn them loose does anyone have any of these for sale? I am lookin for offers

Go to RAZ livestock auction on the 3rd. weekend of every month. Sheep sell on Sundays. Usually plenty to chose from.

thank you i was kinda wantin to stay away from the auctions since they are so far away but thank you for the heads up and i am not picky on the sheep lol

are you just wanting barbadoe?

i am interested in any exotic type animal that will not jump a regular fence lol

I have some sheep for sale, and also can recom exotics that usually dont jump goat fence. 254.717.5797

Make sure your fences are good and don't let your billies get near any other type of sheep. I have thought about hitting the auction and looking for a couple old billies. Barbado eat pretty well too.

why do you not let the billies get near any other type of sheep

Hey guys what do axis usually run the average price?

About $250 for does and $350 to $1500 for bucks depending how big.

oh okay well in that case i will stick with the sheep until i know dang well the fence will hold em thanks guys I was talking to Axisking first on some sheep but will get with yall if that doesnt work thank you.

well thank ya bowhunter i have a friend whos dad has them on a 6 foot fence that they dont jump

We have more trouble with axis bucks fighting free ranging ones through the fence and tearing holes in it. We lose some and gain some. I guess it all works about even.

Kind of depends on the volume your buying.

I would not bother putting does out there unless u just want to do meat hunts. I would buy about 15 spike bucks or a mix with two year olds and let them get some age on them. Then hunt them. If your looking at hunting them right away I would look at buying 3 year olds in that mix. Those would be anywhere from 24"-28" in horn length typically and run about $700 ea. depending on how many your buying.

If your going to have a sheep out there I would not recommend any type of antelope species like the blackbuck or the scimitar horned oryx. Fallows' would go nice with rams in the same pasture.

u must have saved alot of allowance to be able to purchase a herd of sheep!

axis will make short work of a 6 foot fence, they just have to have a reason to jump it. we bought 38 of them, a mix of bucks and does, about 7 years ago. we have about 65-70 of them now, they do well with whitetail as far as we can see, although there noctournal nature and penchant for brush makes them a tough hunt

txtrophy its called workin not allowance lol and thanks for the help guys i will just stick with the sheep for now but the blackbuck and axis seem very interestin on down the road

how many acres do you plan on populating with this herd?

around 170 its more of just a hold over project until i graduate and get done with showin cattle so its a cheap way out compared to a hunt

Also Hamilton Commission Company has a hair sheep sale three times a year,(4/18, 9/19, and 11/21 in 2009) and a Horn sheep sale three times a year. (1/24, 3/28, 10/10/09)

The reasons you don't want to let wool sheep rams breed with your hair sheep ewes are, 1)many wool sheep are polled (no horns) (some hair sheep, kahtadin and dorper come to mind, but those are meat sheep and you probably wouldn't be buying them anyway)
2) Wool sheep taste like the lanolin they have in their wool. Woolie Lamb is fine; but let the animal (ewe OR ram) get more than a couple of years old, and you have greasy, STRONG flavored mutton. I have raised hair sheep (painted deserts) for many years and i can tell you that even 5 or 6 year old uncastrated rams do not taste gamey.

We are outside of Ft worth. I have 3 young rams for sale (2008 models), 2 painted deserts and one blackbelly barbado.

Are you wanting to raise sheep or just hunt them?
