Thanks for the welcome everyone. I have been chatting with many breeders and I am going to start with two rams and three females. I need to get some pens...
Hi Priscilla, I am not sure if you are still waiting for something from me, but I haven't received any certificates for my herd. I am assuming that you may not...
Hi Caroline, Well, they slipped through the cracks, should be in the mail to you today or tomorrow. Our apologies and thank you for letting us know....
Hi all - Wondering if anyone can help me out. I am a new Soay owner, and am adopting a rescue goat - who is as cute as a button! He is a 6 month old wether...
I raised a soay ram from the time he was 6 weeks old inside the house with other bottle babies. He would drink every once in awhile and I tried handling him ....
Hi Traci, We also raise San Clemente Island goats alone with our sheep, and it is the goats that pick on the sheep-especially when feeding, so I feed them in...
Don't give up! Sheep like the familiar. Have a regular routine, and spend time in the pastures. A few treats now and then doesn't hurt either. Our favorite...
... If you can pat your Soay when feeding, without them immediately darting the other direction, your Soay are friendlier than ours. My most "friendly" Soay...
Well, I thought I had a coyote-proof fence arrangment after the ewe-killing a couple years ago. Two strands of barbed wire over a 4-foot field fence, with an...
Geez, I thought you had really won the battle when you redid your fence. It must be a nasty shock to see one of your sheep like that :-( I'm glad it wasn't one...
Gevan, very sorry to hear about the loss, that is one thing I know we all dread. I know that I would give his weight in gold for our guardian dog. He was a...
My one-month old twins and their mama are not doing super well. Mama and the ewe lamb are both very skinny, and neither lamb is as bouncy and frolicky as I'm...

Hello all, I have a question. I am new at this and I have a 4 month old ram (who really looks like he is mature enough to breed) in with 6 ewes for breeding....
It is part of the game, but for sure if you separate him, DO NOT put him alone. He will be unhappy and crash through fences. He needs to be left with at least...
This is just my own lame opinion, but if he's really ramming the ewes so badly that you're concerned that they'll get hurt... if it were me, he'd be neutered...
Hi, I have an incredible male puppy for sale. He was born with the goats and has been and is currently being trained by his mother. He is already an...
Hi- Re: the young ram ramming ewes For the last 2 years my preferred breeding ram has been born late in the season, thus I have watched them closely to see...
I am not sure about soays since I don't have but a young ram & ewe lamb. and haven't seen anything between them. But I know with my black bellies they will...
Thanks, everyone, for all the helpful input about my ram. He IS just 4.5 months old, so I considered that he was just too young. He really looks "all there"...
