Hey folks,
Can someone tell me where the money is in sheep? I've always heard the two cash crop thing (wool and lambs)but have a friens with 20 or so that pretty much just cost money. Nobody wants the wool, so he has to look for and pay someone to shear them. The price they get for lambs isn't even worth the upkeep and butcher time.
Then today, there is a guy passing through with a herd of about 250 or so. Him and his 2 dogs stay with them 24/7 rain or shine. Based on the our friends, I can't see this guy making anything.And, it's pretty cold these days.
