A complete guide to choosing, breeding and buying sheep: how to find healthy cattle and not overpay

Sheep farming is one of the most ancient, profitable and traditional branches of agriculture. The unpretentiousness of these animals, their ability to feed on poor pasture feed and their high survival rate make breeding small cattle an excellent start for a novice farmer and a stable source of income for large agricultural holdings.

Meat (mutton and lamb), fat, wool, sheepskins, and even valuable milk, from which elite cheeses are made — a sheep gives a person absolutely everything. Regardless of whether you are looking for a breeding sheep producer to improve the genetics of the flock, a batch of young ones for fattening, or one sacrificial lamb for a family holiday, you have come to the right place.

🧬 Sheep breeds: who should I choose for meat and who for wool?

Before making an appointment with the seller, you need to clearly define the purpose of the purchase. All sheep breeds are divided into several areas of productivity. Choosing the wrong breed will waste time and money.

1. Meat-greasy (Fat-tailed) breeds 🥩

These are absolute favorites on the market. They gain weight quickly, tolerate heat and harsh winters perfectly, and their main feature is a fat deposit in the tail area, which is highly appreciated in cooking.

The Edilbaev breed. The real pride of breeders. Edilbaev sheep are giants in the sheep world. An adult feline (ram) can weigh up to 110-120 kg, and the weight of a chicken reaches 15 kg. They are incredibly hardy and can walk dozens of kilometers in search of scarce food.
The Hissar breed. The largest breed in the world. Height at the withers may exceed 85 cm. This is an exclusively meat breed (their wool is coarse and almost never used). Gissars do not have horns (they are lumpy), which reduces injuries in the flock. The meat of hissars is considered dietary, since the main fat accumulates in the turkey.

2. Meat breeds (Without turkey) 🍖

An ideal choice for those who are focused on the production of "lean" European mutton and marbled lamb.

Texel. The Dutch breed, which is famous for its huge output of pure meat with a minimum amount of fat. They have powerful muscles and a very calm personality. Texels are often used for crossbreeding with local breeds to improve the meat quality of the offspring.
Dorper. An African hairless breed. They do not need to be cut (they shed themselves), which saves a lot of time and money on the services of shearers. Dorpers gain weight at a fantastic rate and are ready for slaughter as early as 4-5 months.

3. Meat-wool and Romanov (Multiple-fruited) 🧶

Merino. A breed that produces the finest, softest and most expensive wool, from which elite yarn is made. However, they produce significantly less meat.
The Romanov breed. A unique sheep. If an ordinary uterus gives birth to 1-2 lambs per year, then the Romanovskaya consistently brings 3-5 lambs in one lambing! In addition, Romanov sheep can produce offspring twice a year. Their disadvantage is that they are less tolerant of pasture maintenance in a dry climate and require good stable feeding.

, Farmer's checklist: How to choose a healthy sheep before buying?

In the photos on the Internet, all the animals look beautiful. But when you arrive at the farm {region.in }, you need to turn on the in-house vet. Buying a sick animal will not only result in losses, but it can also infect your existing flock.

What to look at when examining:

🌟 Appearance and behavior

A healthy sheep is always active. She reacts to loud noises, cheerfully chews gum and sticks with the herd. If you see that the animal is standing to the side with its head down, breathing heavily or not responding to your approach, refuse to buy immediately.

👀 Eyes, nose and breathing

Eyes They should be clear, without opacities, purulent discharge or dried crusts in the corners. The eyelid mucosa should be pale pink (too pale indicates anemia or parasites, bright red indicates inflammation).
Nose It must be clean. No snot, sneezing or coughing. Coughing in sheep is often a sign of pulmonary helminths (worms) or pneumonia.

🦷 Teeth (How do I find out the age of a sheep?)

Teeth are an animal's passport. Sheep do not have upper incisors (there is a hard tooth pad). Age is determined by the lower incisors:

Lamb up to 1 year old: Small, needle-sharp baby teeth.
1-1.5 years old: The two central milk incisors fall out, and two wide, large permanent teeth grow in their place.
2 years old: 4 wide permanent teeth appear.
3 years old: 6 permanent teeth.
4 years old: Full jaw (8 permanent wide incisors).
Over 5 years old: Teeth begin to wear off, gaps appear between them (the so-called "stumps"), some teeth may wobble or fall out. Old queens should not be bought — they will not be able to chew coarse food properly and will not bear offspring.

🦵 Wool, leather and hooves

Swipe your hand over the rune. Wool should not fall out in clumps with light stretching (unless it is a period of natural molting). Examine your skin for scabs, mites, or wet eczema. Be sure to look at the hooves! The animal should not limp. Hoof rot is a scourge of sheep farming. The hoof horn should be smooth, without cracks, creases and a bad smell.

🍼 Udder inspection (for queens)

If you are buying a breeding uterus, feel the udder. It should be soft, symmetrical, without hard seals, nodules, or painful areas (signs of past mastitis). The nipples should be clean.

, Basics of the content: what needs to be prepared before the cattle arrive

If you decide to buy sheep for the first time, remember: they cannot live in a void. Before you bring the animals using the portal NATUMBE.KZ you should have everything you need ready.

Koshara (Sheepfold). Sheep are not afraid of the cold — their wool warms them. They are terrified of drafts and dampness! The room should be dry, with good ventilation under the roof, but without cracks at floor level. It is better to make a mud-brick or wooden floor, covered with a thick layer of straw.
Feeding troughs (Mangers). Sheep are sloppy animals. If you throw hay on the ground, they will trample 50% of the feed into the mud and will not eat it. We need special V-shaped manger-grids for hay and separate troughs for grain (concentrates).
Watering hole. One adult sheep drinks from 3 to 6 liters of water per day (a nursing uterus — up to 10 liters). The water must be clean and not icy, otherwise stomach problems will begin.
Salt and minerals. This is critically important! Blocks of slime salts should always be available (ideally with the addition of minerals and sulfur, which is necessary for the growth of high-quality wool).

Choosing a ram for Eid al - Adha and other holidays

A special peak of demand in the category Sale of sheep {region.in } It falls during the period of preparation for religious and national holidays (Eid al-Adha, weddings, the birth of a child).

Strict canonical and sanitary requirements are imposed on the sacrificial animal. When choosing a lamb on our website, pay attention to the following nuances:

Age: The animal must be at least 1 year old (for goats and sheep). An exception is made only for very large lambs from 6 months old, which are not inferior in size and weight to one-year-olds.
Health and integrity: The ram must be absolutely healthy. Blind animals (even in one eye), severely limping, extremely emaciated, toothless, or animals with horns more than half broken off are not allowed to be slaughtered. Ears and tail should not be cropped (cut off).
Where to look? During the holidays, we recommend using the search on NATUMBE.KZ in advance, 2-3 weeks before the date. Closer to the holiday, prices for well-fed, beautiful cats soar by 30-50%, and the choice is greatly narrowed.

FAQ: Frequently asked questions from buyers and novice farmers

Analyzing queries in Yandex and Google, we have collected the most burning questions about the purchase and breeding of MPas, which are answered by professionals.

Do I need to shear meat sheep if I don't need their wool? Absolutely! If a sheep (except for hairless breeds like the Dorper) is not sheared, it will get heat stroke in the summer. In addition, parasites, bloodsuckers and fly larvae grow in untrimmed dirty wool, which leads to serious illnesses. Haircuts are carried out 1-2 times a year (in spring and sometimes in early autumn).

What documents should I require from the seller when buying a flock? If you are officially buying animals for your farm, require a veterinary certificate (certificate). It should indicate the dates of the last vaccinations (against anthrax, brucellosis, foot-and-mouth disease) and the results of treatment against parasites. Animals must also be tagged (have tags in their ears with individual numbers).

How do I transport sheep from another area Kazakhstan? Small cattle tolerate transportation perfectly. An ordinary trailer for a passenger car, covered with an awning from the wind, or a gazelle is suitable for several heads. If you are carrying a lot of animals, hire a specialized cattle truck (which, by the way, can also be found in the services section on our board). The main rule is: do not feed the sheep with concentrated feed 12 hours before loading, so that they do not swell up on the road, and cover the floor of the body with dry sawdust or straw so that they do not slip.

Which is more profitable: to buy ready-made queens or small lambs for fattening? Depends on your goals. If you want quick money, buy 3-4 month—old lambs in the spring, fatten them on free grass all summer, and sell them for meat in the fall (this is called "feeding"). If you want to build a long—term business and increase your livestock, buy young bright-colored (females up to a year old) and one high-quality breeding sheep.

Is it possible to keep sheep with cows or horses? Yes, sheep are great companions. Moreover, there is a rule of joint grazing: cows eat tall grass, and sheep follow and "trim" the pasture by the root, eating those weeds that the cattle have bypassed. It is not recommended to keep them only with goats because of possible clashes between horned males.
