Sheep Husbandry and the Comparison with Dairy Cows
The writer argues for sheep keeping by comparing costs and profits to dairy cows. He cites biblical background, ancient shepherding, and the efficiency of sheep with a lamb value of three dollars and fifty cents and wool worth a dollar fifty per animal. He estimates seven sheep match a cow in weight and calculates annual income around thirty five dollars for seven sheep versus about thirty dollars for a cow.
