taste wise I can't tell a difference between goat and beef......texture is a little different, probably because it is so lean. for me the goat is definitely a "moist and slow" cook item. still need beef if we want a steak on the grill.
so where do most hair sheep fall in the strong flavor scale? we would like some sheep ....mostly for mowers and fun.......and have decided on hair sheep for sure.......I am sure sooner or later we will have one that needs to go to freezer camp.

Just added 500 catfish to the pond and 200 langostinos (think fresh water lobster, a 1 pound tall is possible)

Originally, I was born in Missouri, but grew up in the Northeast. We have been living in Costa Rica for 5+ years, business for more than seven.
No idea the breed. Whatever is available, we have white, black and a mix, mostly a large white. (up to 50 kilos)
I will try to get some photos and see if anyone can guess.
We got 25 wheelbarrows of sheep droppings mixed with sawdust from the sheep fold today, which is about normal. We change it out every week. This all gets dumped on the garden and used in our nursery as well.

As you have mules I am surprised you don't run a donkey out to kill/run off canines.

In my head anytime I see a herd of sheep I see a small donkey or two...sheep would only be an excuse to get me a mini donkey. I have been hooked ever since I was asked to judge one of their shows.
Fred, donkeys are common here and we even have one in Alabama... should we find you some? How would it be to import an equine?

Importing would be expensive most likely. Donkeys are pretty common in Nicaragua, I need to make a trip to buy a few. Pretty easy to get them across the boarder too.
But the sheep have shepherds with them all the time, so it really isn't that big of a concern.

Last we went down it was not hard to get horses to mexico, but it is one of the things we considered when we thought of moving down there. I have become a horse snob and would have wanted to bring my own horses with me.
Donkeys work cheap... and a fun to look at.
