Larger ewe flocks could boost profits in county farming
Washington County sheep producers may gain more money with larger flocks, says Extension Director Jim Frier. Iowa State University expert Tom Wickersham urges at least 100 ewes for profitability, outlines space and care needs, lambing timing, and feeding. Early versus late lambing tradeoffs include price, labor, and parasite issues. A San Francisco report notes senility may stem from high carbon dioxide levels and inadequate breathing, challenging artery-hardening assumption, citing a 27-month study using Emiran.
