If you do, can you tell me a little about it? How much do they cost to purchase, how much do they eat, are they easy to care for...etc.
Any good information would be great!

okay it depends how many u want and how much time u have. Sheep are not real difficult to feed but in the winter they need corn and hay. a 50 pound bag of corn will cost around 7.00 per bag. a bale of hay will cost u around 30-40 dollars per bale even higher depending where u go and who has it.
They have to be sheared, they need their shots like anything else, their tails have to be banded as babies, i do not know exactly how much they are to purchase as mine was gave to me by a person that raised them. I took care of his sheep and they need fed twice a day, when they have babies they can have up to three babies at a time. The third babie has to be bottle fed and sometimes the twin babie does also. The milk will run into 50.00 per bag.
It is not cheap to raise sheep but it is not cheap to raise anything.
