$300 – $400
Purebred rams of multiple ages and bloodlines available. Springwood Farm is a high health status farm in Free Union, Virginia operated by two retired veterinarians committed to livestock conservation. The Barbados Blackbelly breed evolved in the Caribbean to tolerate parasites, hot and humid weather and variable diet. Barbados Blackbelly rams are hearty survivors that adapt well to a variety of habitats including marginal pasture overrun with brush and invasive plants. Rams are familiar with livestock guardian dogs and electric fences. Prices vary from $300 for unregistered, weaned ram lambs ideal to raise for meat to $400 for registered, sexually mature rams, many of whom are proven sires.
