    In our area beef about $2.50 per side customer pays all butcher costs.
    In my experience they seem to want animals dripping in fat/flavor and if possible could they only get the hind half they are willing to pay more but what do I do with all those other cuts?

    For any one getting sheep to run around the yards keep the fence electric and hot.
    One might go broke trying to fence 6 wires with all the paraphernalia associated with sheep

      Not a problem here,my existing rail fences around the corrals would keep sheep easy enough. I love electric fence for cattle but have not had much success with them and sheep in the past. Sheep, contrary to common belief, are way smarter than cattle - they can sense when a fence has power in it from about two feet away. They also learn that if they hit it hard and fast they can be through it before they get a sting, especially if they are well wooled at the time. Like cattle though the easiest way to keep them in a pasture is to have the right kind of grass there for them.
