Agreement ends domestic sheep grazing permit

Sheep don’t make money like they used to. No value for wool (unless it’s merino wool which it’s not) and shearing is a big expense. Only profitable product is lamb meat.

So the sheep operators probably made out ok and now don’t have to deal with sheep.

On a side if we can cut demand for lamb chops it could spur more sheep closures and give Bighorn sheep a chance with reducing contact and disease transmission.
Lamb is one of my favorite meats, but I haven't seen anything at the store that wasn't from New Zealand in years.
