Thanks for the advice. I was leaning towards hair sheep because I figured that would be the easiest. Our yard is mostly grassland with a few small fruit trees and a few large cottonwoods. I had a bunch more fruit trees, but a massive grass fire vaporized all but the biggest and oldest. I've planted a few new ones, but none have produced yet. Hopefully this year.
For our life, raising feeder lambs would be better, but I like the idea of raising year round so we can provide for ourselves if things keep going in the direction they currently are. We'll see.
I also need to work out something with the water. We live on the river, but it is a low bluff, so it isn't directly accessible for livestock. In theory we have an irrigation ditch running through our yard as well, but it doesn't run all of the time either, especially in the winter.
