8 December 2007. Mature Cornell Dorsets grazing winter pasture. Portable Electronet fencing keeps the sheep in and the coyotes out. These and 52 Jan-Feb 2007 born replacements will be sorted for January lambing at the end of December.
Abundant rainfall for forage production and
a large population consuming sheep products in the eastern United
States makes this area an ideal location for sheep farming. This
and the companion web site about marketing (http://www.sheepgoatmarketing.info/)
are designed to help farmers take advantage of the opportunity
to develop or expand sheep farms in the region.
