Internal parasites ("worms") are a huge problem to sheep and goats in the Midwest and Southern US. After battling these parasites (and consequent weight loss and sometimes death) in our goats and wool sheep, we went in search of heritage breeds that are PARASITE-RESISTANT. The St. Croix SHEEP we have now are from a flock that has NOT BEEN WORMED IN ALMOST 20 YEARS! They have demonstrated a terrific HARDINESS and strong DESIRE TO LIVE.
and they are GENTLE and FRIENDLY. These are an especially LARGE STRAIN of St. Croix and make SUPERB MEAT sheep, and indeed, the breed is intended for just that. We are happy to now be in a position to provide St Croix SHEEP breeding stock. They are $125 - $175 each. |
