What do you mean by "self shedding"....Barbaro are a hair sheep. If crossed
with a wooly sheep they MIGHT have wool and would shed it although not too
successfully. I have raised both.

> Well after trying to shear sheep for the first time years ago and being
dragged by a lamb across the pasture (I held on and won that attempt of
escape) I hired an Amish friend.And sold him my herd the next year.

started raising Barbados sheep, they are self shedding and are a great meat
producer without that strong mutton taste. They also do better in the harsh
southwest climate.
