[QUOTE="Carlos D., post: 702623, member: 1562"] about 7 years ago-my wife brought home 2 ewes --I cursed and yelled and said we didn't need them creatures BUT we have a terrible weed here (leafy spurge) loves light land . Anyway the sheep are the only animal that will eat it. and they have cleaned this farm up fantasically--I now have 50 ewes ---I sold 98 lambs for about 125.00 each--(I run a canadian breed Argot ridaeu; they are heavy milkers and have been known to have 4 lambs ----with a suffolk ram) . anyway acre for acre and I make a lot more on sheep than cattle and with a lot less work--With a super good elaectric fencer I can keep them in with 5 high tensil wires --fence posts are 60 feet apart -But put them in the pasture right after they have been sheared They also can be run with cattle and help clean up your weeds [/QUOTE]
