<div class='uawarticle'>Right now you are reading this since you have a bit of space on your ranch or farm that you want to fill up with some additional animals. Some of your friends have suggested you get some miniature sheep and you are now thinking of visiting the nearest <a href="https://www.lilburrheadranch.com/about">miniature sheep Cotopaxi Colorado</a> dealer. Before you do so read on in this article for some more information.<br />
<br />
By any means, you know that the decision that you are about to make is by no means simple or even small. Thus to guide you in making and informed choice, you will need to have a simple checklist to guide you. This will aid in reminding you of what is important and also of what steps are needed so that you can make a final decision with confidence.<br />
<br />
Having a good to honest assessment of yourself is something that should be the first item on your checklist. See if you are really able and willing to be able to check up on these animals at least twice a day to provided them with fresh water and food, and also if you are able to carry out the much needed shearing, deworming and hoof trimming also regularly from time to time.<br />
<br />
Should you think of getting around five ewes to start out with then you will need at least an acre of land for your new flock. This is because they gestate pretty fast and can give birth twice a year under the right conditions, usually after every five months. The ewes of this breed will give birth to twin and and triplets on a regular basis so you can expect to have a flock of almost twenty or more by the end of one year.<br />
<br />
As they are miniature in size, the land that they will be placed in must be fenced off also to prevent predators and other animals from going in. It is also advisable to have a Livestock Guardian Dog. Livestock guardian dogs that specialize in herd guarding can be exemplified by the Maremma Sheepdog, the Komondor, or the Kazakh shepherd.<br />
<br />
These animals also are kind of creatures of comfort and so you must ensure that they are fairly comfortable most of the time. It is suggested that you build a three walled shelter for them that will protect them from whatever elements are prevalent during the season.<br />
<br />
Feeding this particular breed is not that difficult, as all they need is clean grass in the summer and hay for the winter. If you do want to have your own stock of hay you should have facilities that will not induce mold and also should maintain freshness. They do not like to eat old hay and this can be a problem in the middle of the winter so do expect to shell a bit more out during the snow months. Nuts and gains can also be given as treats by hand if you want from time to time.<br />
<br />
And most importantly do take note that these are flock animals and should not be kept separated from others of their own kind. They should be kept together as much as possible.<br />
