[QUOTE="Rmc, post: 1809728, member: 39072"] A lot of it can be location. There is a difference in range land, or even pasture that has multiple plants growing, and a pasture of only a few selected species of plants in them. Sheep are far more selective grazers and will continue to eat a favorite plant down to nothing , when other plants are still available in high numbers and quality. Raised sheep for years . Raised ramboulett , Columbia and fins until the wool check didn’t even cover the shearing bill. Then went to Suffolk but eventually went to all cattle because they paid the bills better. Spent hours and days in the saddle moving sheep as far back as I can remember. Making sure they didn’t over graze a particular plant or area. Spent a couple days a year loading wool bags into trailers . Almost all the locals that raised sheep belonged to the wool growers association and would all sell their wool together. Received better prices that way. [/QUOTE]
