Beau doesn’t want sheep. He raised them as a kid on his family farm.

He says they LOOK for a way to die, LOL!

But I’ll take sheep over goats. Angora Rabbits is another idea in the back of my head but again, Pole Barn. ;)

The sheep breeds hardy enough to do well on rough pasture, also tend to hold up to disease, predation, and stress a LOT better than the more pampered breeds. The wool tends to be rougher, which is why they aren’t as popular. But some Assaf or Awassi sheep are on my list of things to raise when I get that far.
