Video: Buying Sheep: Misleading Terms Used To Sell Sheep!/August 5, 2022

I hesitated a day before I decided to post this video because I know there are lots of points I make in it that people will disagree with. This is about what I consider to be misleading terms used to sell or market sheep that are made to influence buyers that those animals are better than others. Now in some cases this may be true but in some cases not. I would argue that anyone can have good or bad sheep and that proper knowledge, feeding, care, management, genetics, etc all play a role in producing healthy, quality, breeding stock. I see no place in the sheep industry for attacking other sheep farmers and I feel that we should be more supportive of one another instead of being so harsh and judgmental. The bottom line is that anyone can do and achieve success in the sheep industry with good management and care regardless of being a closed or tested flock. And the assumption that those flocks are better than flocks not on tests are flawed.
