(From Instagram LiveStock Conservancy today), Gulf Coast sheep fit their challenging environment so well that for centuries, they were the only sheep to be found in the deep South, providing wool and meat for home production.... (see alt text for complete info)

It’s finally autumn in Alabama. The sheep seem to be enjoying the cool mornings.

Many Gulf Coast native shepherds offer raw wool, processed wool or yarn for your knitting 🧶 pleasure. The shave ‘em to save ‘em program is a great support of Gulf Coast native breed.

Mixed flock of Gulf Coast Natives and Barbados Blackbelly going crazy in tall Spanish Needle (Bindens alba). Eating weeds that cows and gardeners can’t stand.

Free Sheepherding Demonstration Sunday at Tattersall Farm
Tattersall Farm is offering a free sheepherding demonstration as a part of the Essex Heritage Area Trails and Sails this Sunday. Using rare heritage breed Gulf Coast Native sheep, sheepherder Tim Molinara will demonstrate how the dogs help us manage his flock. He also talks about the history of sheep, the border collie and the importance of preserving landrace breeds. He will be on hand to discuss training and take questions.

The
#GulfCoastNative
herd of sheep were very excited to meet the new ram. We will keep them apart for a while until they get used to to each other (and watch for sickness).

Big news at the Rockin’ h ranch. We bought a new flock ram, Dali (yes as in Salvador). He’s a Gulf Coast native in the Ladnor line. Our breed is critically endangered and every lamb helps save this breed. He’s only 6 months old, so no lambs right away, but he is already eyeballing the ewes!

This was 8 oz of gulf coast native roving I got from malson farms on etsy to learn to spin on the wheel. Once I got through the whole 8 oz I felt kinda competent with wheel spinning.

Baron having a relaxing evening snack. I've been working a lot with him to (hopefully) nip behavior issues in the bud. He's a sweet boy but does get excitable and he's stronger than he looks!

They are on lush pasture all day, but still a feeding frenzy when brought in at night. Enjoy your minute of zen.

The sheep always follow the same path to the field, even if they have grazed the whole path clean. They also will make some passing lanes, where slower sheep can be passed. Instinct, I guess makes them do this, and we find it interesting.

Emilia (L) and her March lamb Chloe (R) wondering what you all are up to. They are bored, sitting around ruminating until the shepard opens the gate this morning.

Gulf Coast Native sheep are Critically Endangered. Sheep farming in USA is not a big industry, and those growing sheep are often switching to hair sheep which do not need to be sheared. Some Background info on the breed. 🐑🧶

Some Gulf Coast Native Sheep beating the heat wave. GCN's have adapted to the heat by losing the wool on their heads, legs and sometimes bellies. Of course cool treats are always appreciated. 🐑🧶
