Sustainable Sheep Dairy Project
Summary
The viability of a seasonal grass-based sheep dairy in a high-elevation environment will be explored through the development of dairy and milking facilities. For those with an adequate feed base, adding a third income from their current flock, in addition to sheep and wool production, could prove to be an economically viable alternative.
