Around here, about the only people that mess with raising sheep, are people that are short on hay and pasture resources. You can have a sizeable heard of sheep on alot fewer acres than it takes for cattle. Been a good market in it the last several years. It's a market I don't follow very closely. But from what I've heard here and there, they been kind of all and all been higher than beef, dollars per pound. Local (get rich quick type) cattle feller decided he'd venture into sheep in addition to his cattle. After learning that sheep require more care than cattle, I don't think it panned out so well for him. He threw in the towel on his get rich quick idea, and went back to just cattle. Mutton is popular among people with religions that don't eat beef or pork. Especially pork, or neither beef and pork. Where you don't find those such religions, mutton is kind of pretty un-common. Just not something you see or hear about very often. I live in a such area. I'd have to drive atleast an hour away to a city with a population above 15,000 to expect to see mutton in the meat case at a grocery store. I know it's not that way in other areas of the country, but that's how uncommon it is in the area where I live. Mutton here has to be trucked along ways to be processed. Once processed, it has to be trucked alot further than that to be marketed. This is just the story in my location. See what others have to say about thier local.
