Was and will be raising some again in the spring.  Aggie major in college at
one time.  Sheep leader in 4-H on and off for over 30 years and roped into
it again for 2008/2009.  :(   I don't like sheep!  However, everyone else in 
the blooming family seems to like them.

Also raised dairy goats (La Manchas are still my favs <g>) and will be 
getting a couple more in the spring (that is when our fencing will be 
finished, FINALLY), although DH insists that he wants a Cou Blanc Alpine.

When the ex and I owned the butcher shop we by-passed the middle man and 
raised the cattle, sheep and rabbits we sold in the shop.

Plus, my family had two ranches.  One up outside Elko, NV (1/4 section plus 
lease land) and two homesteads in Hum. Co. (160 acres each).  Ran cattle and 
sheep in NV.  Mostly fruit trees, veggies and horses in Hum. Co plus a small 
number of cattle, sheep, etc. for family use.

P.S.  And the answer to the next question is I married two Italians which is 
where I get a lot of my Italian recipes from.  Ah, just to be clear, not at 
the same time <g>
