Look for a vet

Though it might seem a bit expensive to hire the services of a vet in the beginning, you should look for a vet who specializes in providing care for the specific breed that you're planning on raising. Aside from making sure that your sheep remain in a healthy state, a vet can also provide you with all the tips you need to be able to care for sheep on your own. Hire someone you can work comfortably with as there's a chance that you'll need to stick together for a very long time.
