A problem with sheep is that they aren’t worth anything. Here is New Zealand we have replaced nearly all of them with cows. Much improved profits but destruction of the waterways. We call that a win.

- Lutger 2y agoGood point. I'm not really interested in farming animals, I really don't know enough about it. In the Netherlands we still slaughter little under a million of them per year, on a populations of circa 17 million that should still mean they are worth something. But maybe grazing isn't worth anything at all and its only cost-effective if you put them in a big box and feed them grains or something. I don't know.
