Default Re: Question for Dien - What do Others Sell His *Special Sheep* For

Hi Glenn,

I'll let you know, I decided to turn down the "opportunity"... It did not seem like "low hanging fruit," at least not for me... There'd be quite a learning curve, I figured.

I pointed out to him my research on the apparently average asking price I found for the sheep... He said his are worth more due to the pedigree, and that "we'd need to educate the buyers on the differences"...

Maybe it's true... It's a lot of "set up" work, for a relatively small number of sheep...!

And not an easy job, I figured, "educating" people on the differences (assuming it's true, which I wouldn't accept without being convinced of it first myself)...

The sheep are black headed dorpers...

From my reading, they are mainly raised for meat. Though hobby farmers may also want them, as they are kind of cute...

Best wishes!

Dien
