[QUOTE="Mark Reynolds, post: 1809722, member: 43196"] I missed the start of this post. Sheep and cows eat different forages, they also eat the same forages. I know and work with producers that do raise both. However, most producers, producers I know and producers I work with choose to raise one or the other. What happens when someone chooses to raise both is that the two kinds of livestock are raised to complement each other. Yes, the producer could raise more beef if they just raised beef or they could raise more lamb/mutton if they just raised sheep, but by raising both, the producer is able to raise 1.25 to 1.5 times as much total animal weight than if they raised only one or the other.
