How much would a suffolk lamb or ewe cost? ?

im looking to buy some suffolk sheep to start a herd for pets, and i wasn't sure what would be reasonable prices for individual sheep, since i am usually a horse person. any help would be greatly appreciated :)

    Hey i am glad to see someone else getting into the wonderful suffolk sheep! Prices vary. Breed stock, or herd stock can get expensive, but if you get some that were meant for food, about 80-1.15 dollars a lb. You just wouldnt have to send them to the meat packaging place. Keep them for a pet. They are really fun to have, but can get expensive with feed and stuff. You will want to give them lamb grower while they are small. And maybe some grain occassionally while they are adults. They will help immensly with overgrown pasture. Have fun and i hope i help!

    where do you live??

    China?? Canada?? Chile??

    you can buy from a breeder for high.. or take your chances at auction for less..

    or buy from somebody who simply wants to get rid of some sheep

    but I cannot give you a price without knowing where you live - I am in Alberta Canada - price here is $40-$300 depending on quality and luck..

    they have an auction comming up here in Innisfail if you happen to live in AB Canada - its Oct 10 - they will be cheaper, and lots of different breeds too.
