Project Update
My project so far is going quite well. I intend to name my site SheepBasics.info
and I feel as though I have a pretty good start. I have written and gotten a response from
the owner of two of the sites I intend to use for content, sheep101.info and
sheepandgoat.com. She has given me permission to use both of her websites and photos
from her websites and her flickr. Below is a powerpoint presentation that will take you
through the site page by page. I supplied you with direct links for every picture that I
currently have for the site. I feel as though as of now that is an ample amount of images
and I should not need more; however, if the need arises I have access and permission to
Susan S. photos at https://www.flickr.com/photos/baalands/.

When looking to expand the flock, many farmers producing meat will do a Breeding Soundness Exam (BSE), which includes a physical exam and semen test.
