robplum: Guy I know here has Dorper sheep pebbles D Hollands.

merria they shed there wool so you don't need to share them.
They are however susceptible to worm infections, there is also a red sheep from Africa under trail in Australia that sheds its wool and is not so susceptible to worms.

I brought one of those battery hand peaces but still took well over an hour to shear one.

will upload alpaca photo my prof....
how much are the battery hand pieces,do they last on charge for more than an hr?

MINI MEAT SHEEP

Origin: Mini sheep result from a miniature gene (not dwarfism) discovered in a South African breed imported since 2000 which were mated to a White Dorper hybrid ram. The resulting progeny were half-size sheep. Polled, colouring varies and includes black heads, red heads, white and the complete range of world sheep breed colours. Several different bloodlines have been used to maintain genetic diversity and in 2010 there are three separate lines of Mini.
