I have a question, can you help me out?
I’m thinking about adding some livestock to my way of life, and I’m not sure what to add. We currently have rabbits and chickens, and were thinking about adding some sheep. Are goats better than sheep? If so, why? I’ve never eaten goat, but I do love lamb. Dad was raised on goat and hates it, and says the meat smells. They’d have about 1/2 acre of pasture, and hay is relatively inexpensive here. They’d also get a supplement from the garden stuff. Would goats be a better choice? Thanks to anyone and everyone in advance.
I don’t know anything about sheep but have raised goats. Goats are poop machines so your house better be up wind of them. They don’t have as much meat on them than sheep if that’s what you’re looking at.
If you have lots of grassland, sheep are excellent. Grass-fed lamb is the healthiest food on earth.
