Might we ask how large your sheep farm is, by current commercial (vs. hobby) standards?

and the nutrition per lb has fallen. Farm slop
Well, I should say it was sheep —> artisan cheese, which is in my view one of the few paths to viability for a small sized farm. It’s definitely not big enough for producing a commodity profitably. And farming takes either generational wealth and experience OR being able to go big by forming a farming cooperative like Chris Newman. It’s probably not something most people can “escape” to.
