[QUOTE="Beefeater, post: 1597212, member: 25588"] Just about everything was answered, but I’ll add a touch more from my limited experience. 1. They do make money for me, not counting my time. The ethnic market has worked well. 2. I’ve never had a mean ram, but also have never had one older than 18 months. 3. I’ve had no problems keeping them on small pastures with two strands of electric poly wire. 4. If wild dog packs are rampant in your area I wouldn’t mess with them. 5. I’ve had some really good lamb from my Katahdins (this is saying a lot, because in general I hate lamb meat). The butcher tried getting me to raise more for a high end restaurant and I’ve had a lot of repeat buyers and good feedback. Still not worth the hassle for me to expand timewise. 6. No matter what breed I’m pretty sure sheep are all dumb. 7. Better have some real good fences and a lot of patience for goats! [/QUOTE]
