[QUOTE="fenceman, post: 1303388, member: 23460"] I raised hair sheep for about 15 years. We have several auctions here to sell them through. We had herd of around 100 head half would be rams. My uncle keeps around 2_ 300 All rams. The biggest market her is selling mature rams that go to high fenced hunting ranches. The ewe lambs would go to a commercial auction. They are very hardy . somewhat like brahman cattle . they can eat anything , are very resistant to disease and parasites. They have 1 to 4 lambs per year with very few problems. They will compliment cattle well eating weeds and brush cattle wont. I sold out early 2015. Just had to many irons in fire. Around here the one big problem is coyotes. The sheep must be penned every night. It got were I just didn't have time and the market was very strong so I sold everything. If you have any questions , I would be tickled to help. The day I sold out.
