Sharing our first month raising St. Croix sheep on the Homestead as beginner sheep farmers. We picked our sheep up from Greg Judy at the end of August and are happy to say we still have all 12 of our sheep and our livestock guardian dog here on the property. Not only are they here but they are doing great. In this video, we show you our setup for the sheep.
Let us know if you have any questions in the comments!
