I'm not a fan, at all. My experience with 'hair' sheep is that they are mad, the fiber is terrible, and because they have a lack of oils (ex. lanolin) your handpiece tends to get boiling hot. But they are generally straight-bodied and easy to get around.

That sucks that you've been around idiots. Katahdins are generally light sheep but some of the others are a bit less stupid. Mine are some of the chillest animals in existence if you have a scoop of feed, rams included.

I like how you say 'hair' though. The whole point is the fiber to be worthless so you don't have to give a dang about it being on the ground. Then I don't have to shear sheep and it's way easier for people to skin them because they don't have to get through that wool layer. I'll take a carcass animal over a wool production animal every time.

I was mostly kidding because :smugbert: I don't have to shear. Or I didn't. Until Instant Jellyfish was like "yo llamas are great protection animals" and now I have to shear the llama.

You know if you didn't live in America's asscrack you'd have a flock of adorable shetlands, each the size of a loaf of bread, looking up to you with their giant doe eyes hoping for a gentle pet.

well I mean, probably shetlands and hair sheep in two separate flocks. Maybe more than 1 llama
