Hey Albuquerque peeps- I will be headed down to ABQ this week with baby goats and lambs for sale, pm me if you might be interested :)

I have East Friesian & Navajo Churro/East Friesian ram lambs for sale, if anyone is interested.

Kansaseq- I'd suggest looking into San Ysidro & Jemez Springs, too. For those in ABQ who mentioned classes- what are you specifically wanting to learn? The county Extension office may be able to help you, or you could visit one of us more experienced "chicken peeps" if you aren't afraid to...

Does anyone have any ideas/advice on how & where to sell a ram's skull? We are going to butcher our ram soon & he has a nice set of horns.
