I'm stickin with beef and my cow calf for right now. The prices for 600 weights has gone bananas in the last two years.
I've got one neighbor who has been raising a few sheep on about 7 acres, and makes a few bucks on market lamb, but the wool is a give away. Back in WWII it was used for flyers coats, but now they just break a few extra bucks on it. Most of their money comes from market lambs of about 100 pounds.
