Criteria for culling

FAQs - Purchasing from Kind Horn Farm

Culling is a difficult thing to do, but an essential part of raising high quality breeding stock.  We cull for any/all of the following reasons:

** Poor conformation, including bad horns in rams.

** Health trouble, unthriftiness.  This includes parasite trouble and any chronic issue, such as cough.

** Poor mothering.  An unattentive ewe, or one that cannot support twins will be culled.

** Bad temperament in rams.  We will keep only docile, well-mannered rams.
