LIVESTOCK AMERICAN BLACK BELLY SHEEP

The American Blackbelly is a hair sheep that forms a coat of hair instead of a wool blanket. It was bred in Texas by crossing Barbados Black Belly and Rambouillet sheep with Corsican mouflons. The American Blackbelly has a brown coat with a black underbelly.

We have a flock of ewes, lambs, and a flock of rams. The sheep are out to pasture from March/April, where they are moved to a different pasture every 30 days. They spend the winter in the barn and are fed second-cut hay. The sheep also get organic grain and minerals.

WE BREED WITH THREE DIFFERENT, PUREBRED AND REGISTERED BREEDING LINES.

Benefits of Blackbelly Sheep:

• robust

• easy to keep

• No shearing or docking

• Mild taste, lean meat, less fatness

• Meat: lamb and mutton

• This breed is raised primarily for meat.

• We offer Livestock as well as meat!
