Small Farmer Feed Lot Seen as Path to Profit and Soil Welfare
The piece argues northern Colorado farmers should feed small flocks of sheep and lambs on their own land rather than rely on large feeders. It contends this keeps fertilizer on the farm, boosts land value, and yields profit from both animals and feed, while protecting soil fertility against decline seen with centralized feeders. It cites Breeders' Gazette on the shift toward farmer feeders and notes favorable hay and feed conditions, with prices for feeder stock easing and demand steady for western sheep and lambs.
