Not sure what you mean sheep vs lambs? Breeding ewes vs just buying in lambs? That's individual context based.

As far as feeding going it's all grass (or hay) all the time with us. Bigger animals just need more of it. Plan about 3% dry matter per head per day. 4%+ for cushion and adding to soil fertility with bale grazing.

LoL I don't have fencing that would keep goats contained... But then again, I don't think anyone would.

Goats get a lot of attention, but I rarely ever meet anyone that eats goat meat. It would be a bugger to market in my area I'm afraid. Between that and dying easily I don't see why they get all the attention. Goats need more woody browse, not pasture, to be done properly.

Interesting! I guess the milk/cheese is the main selling point for goats.
