Those are some handsome sheep. My first ram was a Gulf Coast Native - he put a lot of speckling into my flock. Yours appear MUCH better quality than mine!

Now I've crossed my original Gulf Coast with Katahdin to try to get away from shearing. They are doing OK, despite hot humid summers, and ideal breeding grounds for all kinds of worms and liver fluke.

My oldest ewe is ten, and still doing great, so I must be doing something right, despite all the obstacles.

It's good to see a healthy flock in Florida.

Do you shear yourself, or are you close enough to U of F to get someone from there to shear?
