At Heifer USA, our sheep farm has been thriving for decades, and now we're teaching YOU everything you need to know about sheep breeding season: how we breed our sheep naturally in season, how we care for pregnant ewes, how we stock our lambing toolkit, how we maintain thorough lambing records, and MORE. If you're learning how to raise sheep, follow this sheep business plan and see how we made over $25,000 in revenue in one cycle of breeding sheep and raising lambs on pasture! 💸
