[QUOTE="ddd75, post: 1496078, member: 23575"] they've been bringing good money since around 2012. Everyone was buying them like crazy. I think why no one really gets into them is that its very hard. They waste a lot of hay, they die easily, they are sometimes bad mothers, etc..etc.. It takes a LOT of effort or a lot of LUCK to get a good herd. Fencing is a huge issue. Lots of things needed with them that most people wouldn't expect. they also demand VERY high quality hay. Thats the main reason I'm getting back into them. I'm feeding dairy hay to beef cattle and feel i'm wasting the quality. I can buy cheaper hay to feed out to the cows and supplement them with ddg/corn and put my good hay into the sheep.. They grow like crazy on that good hay and won't have problems like if you fed them a high grain diet. Thats another thing that really affects profitability. They won't grow very well unless you're feeding them well. [/QUOTE]
