BARBADOS BLACKBELLY SHEEP IN SNOW

It is really amazing to discover the versatility of this ‘tropical’ breed of sheep, the Barbados Blackbelly. Jack Gowler has his farm in Pincher Creek, Alberta Canada and I am amazed to see them thriving in Snow!

Thanks Jack for giving us permission to use your photo’s.

PICKING THE RAM

This is when we went to select between 2 Barbados Blackbelly Rams some weeks back. We want to expand our herd but quality specimens like these are pretty hard to come by in Kuching, Sarawak. These were the descendants of the original imports that were made by MARDI many years back.

BARBADOS BLACK BELLY RAM

The long search for a pure blooded Ram worthy of my Barbados Black Belly girls is over. He was found him rather surprisingly from somewhere rather unexpected, right here in Kuching. It has been a good week.
