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>

You don't have to answer this rhetorical question, but how do two women
who aren't sheep ranchers know so much about sheep?
