Organic or grassfed lamb has been called “land salmon” for the price it gets in some markets. Sheep are relatively easy to keep fenced in, they eat grass and the bark of woody vegetation. Sheep can be raised for wool, meat and/or milk. Like all livestock, they should be moved frequently. Their hooves need to be clipped and, unless they are a certain breed, they need to be sheared annually. Consider hair sheep vs. wool sheep when deciding what to purchase. Katahdin sheep are particularly versatile. Sheep need shelter and protection from predators and can be prone to parasites.
