our Sheep
Katahdin "Hair" Sheep
The first sheep we added to the Bee Ostrich Farm were our Katahdin "Hair" sheep. These sheep are friendly, resistant to parasites, and shed their coats in the winter which saves a lot of time and money spent on shearing. As you can see in the picture, these sheep can have a variety of coat colors
Karakul
Bee Ostrich Farm's Karakul sheep are the newest addition. These sheep hail from Central Asia and can endure severe droughts with the extra stores in their fat tails, and have a thick, fibrous coat used for outer garments and carpets. They are also a great meat and milking breed, and are currently on the endangered species list. We're lucky to have 23 of these furry faces gracing our grounds.
Tunis
Tunis sheep are the last breed of sheep on the farm. They have a recognizable reddish tint to their coat, and were introduced into the U.S. in 1799 from Tunisia as a gift to George Washington. They are another fat-tailed breed of sheep. Tunis sheep are listed as "watch" on the watchlist of the Livestock Conservancy. Little Charlie (left) likes to stay close during morning rounds. Here, he was clearly hoping for a selfie.
