Several fellow COUNTRYSIDERS have written to me asking about Cotswold sheep. One common question was "How can I make money with purebred sheep?" Since many readers keep sheep, it occurred to me that this info might also help homesteaders make a little better return on their investment in purebred sheep. Having kept many breeds of sheep, I settled on the Cotswold for their many advantages to small-time shepherds. But much of the following can be applied to other breeds, too.
