Where would Americans raise mutton that isn't already crowded with people?
They don't like cold winters, and can't tolerate high heat. Keeping them inside all winter with fodder is pretty expensive.
- irrational 3y agoCrowded with people? I have to drive 3 hours north to get to another urban area, 6 hours to the east to get to another urban area, and 9 hours south to get to another urban area (there is nothing to the west). Everything in between the urban areas is mostly empty. Just forests and meadows and mountains and such.
- rendang 3y agoDo you live in an area that has neither cold winters nor hot summers? The only place in the US I know of that qualifies is coastal California
- michael1999 3y agoExactly. And they will browse right down to the dirt without regular moisture for the grass. Maybe the Carolinas near the coast, but I figure that’s all occupied, or marsh. Scottish and New Zealand weather are perfect for sheep.
