ABOUT THE HIGH MOUNTAIN HOMESTEAD
Hi! I’m PJ, and my family loves the homesteading life! It’s something my wife and I have always wanted to do, but we grew up with ZERO HOMESTEADING EXPERIENCE!!!!!
We grew up in beautiful southern California, 15 minutes away from the beach. As amazing as that was, we both dreamed of a life closer to land and animals. After getting married and moving to Utah, our family slowly grew. We had become a family of four living in a townhome with a small backyard filled with potted plants.
In 2019 we dipped out feet into homesteading on 1 ¼ acre lot in Utah. In 18 months we were ready to do this for real. So in 2021 we packed everything up (including our sheep) and moved to North Carolina to 12 acres and we love every inch of our homestead!
We raise Dorper sheep and have big plans for:
• grass-fed lamb
• fullblood Dorper breeding stock
• meat chickens
• laying chickens and ducks
• heritage breed pork
• honey
• row crops
• perennial food forest
• and more
I hope you join us on our journey, subscribe and ring the bell if you haven’t yet.

We had a Suffolk sheep stud, plus commercial cross bred flock, in Southern NSW, Australia. All our prime lamb was pasture raised.. Definitely no grain. Somewhat smaller lambs at birth, (easier on the ewe, especially maiden ewes), but grow rapidly, if circumstances permit. We also had Border Leicester and Texel sheep studs. Just a personally preference, it’s a toss up between Suffolk or Texel for eating quality.
@homesteadingwithPJ 2 жыл бұрын
That makes sense that grass fed ewes would make smaller lambs (which is a good thing for lambing season). I believe I've tasted Suffolk before, but I don't think I've had Texel, I know a lot of folks in Australia keep them, I haven't seen them in the US. I liked reading your comment, thanks for sharing!

You really enlightened me into thinking of getting few sheep for homesteading dreams. I'd had bit more experience with goats for milk and meat having a family and friends who raised few different breeds of goats, Alpine, a Lamalcha, few Tog Genberg and I loved the idea of having some dwarf goats for meat, and Tog Genberg for the milk for butter, cream etc. and making bath soaps. And since I didn't know how to use the wool on sheep thought the lower maintenance of coats of goats a more logical choice. But seeing how there are sheep breeds like the East Frisian for dairy, and the Islandic that is a hearty winter breed for the Pacific NW climate be like I need a bit of a sheep breed good for milk, meat, very resilient in nature, is pest resistant, welllll guess a super combo of all the breeds you talked about for just personal level on small homestead.

I have been raising sheep for a while and have found that certain crissbreeds perform better than pure breeds. Currently, I have great success with white Dorper, Kathadin, East Frisian cross. Each lends something to make easy handling, easy lambing and plenty milk to produce hardy quick growing lambs that can finish on grass or grain. I have been hearing much about Australian Whites as meat sheep though I have no personal knowledge. Good luck to all homesteaders. Success with sheep requires knowledge of pasture, parasites and predators.

American blackbelly are great, America blackbelly dorper cross are great, especially 3rd generation and past that. American blackbelly are great to have in any large herds, because they are more skittish and react to predators and alert the rest of the herd, in my case Finns and California reds. So a predator might only catch one or 2 and not catch and kill 40 for fun. Especially useful if your running livestock guardian dogs.

@reoagilephetlhu1619 Жыл бұрын
Blackhead sheep are dopers, developed by the South African department of agriculture. Dope is a cross developed in the early 1900s by crossing various indigenous sheep breeds with imported Dorset Horn rams. The breed was developed to improve the meat quality and wool production of the indigenous sheep breeds in South Africa, and the resulting Doper breed is known for its hardiness, adaptability, and good meat and wool characteristics. Today, the Doper breed is one of the most popular sheep breeds in South Africa and is also found in other parts of the world.

We raise registered, pedigreed, Barbados Blackbelly (polled, NO horns!!) ...and we select breeding rams that are docile and generally easy keepers. A lot of sheep breeders will say that rams are aggressive, but that is a genetic trait that is inherited. You can diminish aggressive behavior in your flock by putting those rams on the grill! - Oh, also, most of your photos (that group of rams!) are actually polled Barbados Blackbelly, not the horned hybrid American variety - great video! Thanks for posting :-)

We're all about grass fed, 'cuz grain is a fast track to commodity production serfdom and it ain'tcsustainable unless you'rectge one raising the grains, but I digress. Great video, but ya missed parasite tolerance. And the East Freisians, copious amounts of milk aside, are simply too fragile for meaningful home or farm stealing, imnsho. The French Laucaune are much hardier scrabblers who, while giving less milk, what they do give is superb, especially for making cheese. Just my 2 cents. Katahdins are very popular around us, here in the mid-Atlantic coastal plain, but I've always thought the Caribbean black belly breeds would be great here. I do love the Dormers though. Our biggest challenge is too few shearers left, so I guess it's time we add that to the tool box. ;) Thanks again for acgreat video. :)

Smaller lambs with fast growth is good in my mind - fewer complications giving birth.
@homesteadingwithPJ Жыл бұрын
Exactly. A birth where you don't have to step in and help is definitely preferable for all.

@homesteadingwithPJ 6 ай бұрын
Not sure, if anyone is raising sheep near you and they have a different breed that is doing well in the area I would definitely go with that breed first though. Easier to find and already adapted to your climate!

Two different breeds. Kind've... Both are Blackbelly, but its horns determine if they are American or Barbados. American Blackbelly sheep have horns. Barbados are polled.

Nigerian Dwarf goats have up to 10% butter fat milk. Just saying 😉. BTW I also have dorpers and they are the best meat sheep for sure. Looking to cross them with Texel and see if I can get the best of both worlds

I've heard really good things about the Nigerian Dwarf Goat milk fat content. Really impressive! Good luck with your Dorper/Texel cross.

Bro invest in a Muslim country, alot of European countries and north American countries are lacking on that , i worked 3 years in Tunisia (north Africa) and when i was there they had problems with local sheeps so they had to import sheep from spain to in order to sell for aid ( the day they sacrifice( goat/sheep/camel/cow ) but mostly sheep so yes European and American farmers u should think about it
