   I was wondering if there are any Zwartbles in New England, USA?
   I live in NH and have been thinking about raising sheep.
   Thanks
   Andrea

     I do not think there are any Zwartbles sheep in the USA yet. There might be some half breeds as someone shipped sperm over there a few years ago. I was working with some people in New York state to ship over frozen embryos but this got stopped due to a new virus called Schmallenberg virus we have here in Europe. I don’t know when the ban will be lifted. So we might have to wait till they have developed an approved and viable vaccine.

     Have you tried the ZSA at http://www.zwartbles.org/ ? They would have a complete register of all flocks who might sell sperm or do frozen embryos. Sorry I do not have that kind of information.I will pass on your details to others who might know what your looking for.
