Not me. I use words like ‘trusting’, ‘habitual’ and ‘profitable’.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI use these words because they are what I know sheep to be. As someone who spent over twenty years as a shepherd to several hundred head of sheep, I can say in no uncertain terms that I know the potential for sheep when it comes to making your farm a profitable business.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe degree of profitability, however, depends upon the quality of your sheep. And when it comes to quality, you’ll be hard-pressed to find a better breed of sheep than the Katahdin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKatahdin are hair sheep; meaning they don’t have wool. So yes, if your intentions for raising sheep are for spinning, you will need to choose a wool breed known for the quality of their wool. But if it’s meat production you are after, look no further than the Katahdin.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mendon Cottage Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47083780145392,"sku":"2940046440621","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940046440621_p0.jpg?v=1763700842","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940046440621","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
