No regular hoof trims in our sheep until 2015...the heavier White Dorper lines now do require a trim with all their weight if their hooves break off uneven or get too long and splay out.
No tail docks on our sheep...
We selectively breed for shorter tails. Our ewe's tails are a thicker base at top that tapers down to a short tail.
Selective breeding trait: Yes
Natural shedding in our sheep...
There is quite a range of hair sheep coats. Everything from hair to a wool hair blend to mostly wool, but will still shed.
Some hair sheep coats won't shed off. Some partially shed. The shedding factor is important. If hair or wool coats partially
shed, what remains cannot be pulled off, it will require shearing.
Selective breeding trait: Yes
