New Member Intro: From Oregon

That is great feedback. Thank you! I spoke to one dairy operation that has 4mo. old kids. They've been on pasture for a while, though. She says they are friendly and a couple may even take a bottle still, but I think too much time has passed for the best bonding and feeding program. They did say that I could be put on a list to pick up the 1 day old bucklings, which I can do if I don't find a better breeder before then. She sells her bucklings too for $25/each. I raise hair sheep so I do have some understanding of confirmation. If I can get them at just a few days old, I can feed and train them properly, right from the start. I've asked for pictures of the sires and dams. She says the Sire is 200lb+, pure alpine. They are local, which is nice, but I would prefer to find and buy from a packing breeder.
It's going to be a journey!
