Suffolk sheep are basically from England & from this Aussie lone quilter who had the same sheep - here goes tips....you will need to know how to shear, how to "top, tail & crutch" & that part needs to be done no matter what - as there ain't nothing worse than a "fly blown" sheep....flies get up through the back passage of the sheep & then it has to be "lights out" by a vet - & you will need to do "drenching"...thats where you put the nozzle in sheep's mouth & the various formulas for various disease's must be done....& I do hope you realize that its a lot of work....sheep are stubborn...but they can be very warm hearted & please don't neglect their hooves - ears & eyes, okays have fun...do you know how to shear at all though??
