I'm in north east Ohio the amish around here are getting out of the hog and feeder pig business and going into sheep. What use to be a hobby farm is now a growing industry. My daughter helps out on a sheep farm with about 60 breeding ewes. They feed mostly an alfafa hay with a supplement of cracked corn during lambing season. We have 9 breeding ewes we feed grass hay with a little grain through out. Hair breeds need the least maintance being that they shed their wool vs. needing sheared once a year. There are a number of organization that promote breeds that can help selecting a breed for your use. All livestock is deadstock they just haven't realized it yet. There is no animal that does not have problems but with proper care they can be minimized. Sheep will usually have twins so their numbers will increase quickly. Most of what I've read qoute about 20 head per acre. I think that is a little high from my experience more like 10. Hope this helps.
