Not me. I use words like 'trusting', 'habitual' and 'profitable'. I 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. The 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. Katahdin 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Davidson, Darla Noble\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1505681367\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781505681369\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/22\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 40\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.08d","brand":"John Davidson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43992150671615,"sku":"9781505681369","price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2b1e34be-3e39-47dd-ae99-c1f64ac2408b.jpg?v=1683314322","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/katahdin-hair-sheep-raising-john-davidson-9781505681369","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
