	The care and handling of farm animals - Sheep (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		In Canada, a number of sheep breeds and their crosses are managed under a variety of systems appropriate to the type of sheep, topography, local climate and resources available to the producer.

	Starting or Expanding Your Sheep Flock
		Sheep numbers are at their lowest level in history (about 10.0 million).
		To be profitable, sheep must be treated as a business, and the investment in facilities and equipment of about $100 per ewe should encourage an improvement in all aspects of breeding, feeding, marketing, and health that contribute to making sheep a profitable enterprise rather than a traditional, insignificant sideline.
		Table 5 suggests that when ewes are capitalized into a sheep enterprise at $100, it requires high lamb production (140 pounds or more per ewe) and maximum saving in feed cost to remain profitable, and at current (1988) feed costs and lamb prices, chances of profitability are marginal.
