A Practical Quick Lambing Plan for Small Sheep Farms
A reader guidance column proposes a method for starting in sheep farming by buying ewes in fall, breeding for early lambs, fattening with grain, and shipping to the St. Louis market. It notes care at lambing, avoidance of Merino bucks, and choosing Cotswold or Hampshire types for fast lamb production. Stock ewes are sold around 3 1 2 cents per pound, with freight to consider.
