Sheep Raising for Profit in the Corn Belt
The author advises farmers to keep a small flock of clean, well bred ewes on grass with little grain. A ten to fifteen ewe flock can yield about 20 lambs and $100 in value, plus 160 pounds of wool worth 6 to 9 dollars per pound, totaling a net income near $125. Pure bred flocks offer higher profits, with ram lambs selling for 16 to 30 dollars each and ewe lambs replenishing stock.
