[QUOTE="Jackov Altraids, post: 6616828, member: 3566"] The trouble is, aren't you subsidising your sheep by making mittens? Those I have watched diversify seem to gradually fail as the grants run out. They probably weren't brilliant businesspersons which is why they struggled at farming........or...... they are good at business and quickly realise it's quicker and cheaper to buy carcasses, wool etc. than do the farming themselves. If you can successfully sell your mittens, offer to buy the wool of a neighbour. You can even offer a nice premium if they promise it is local and only removed from sheep with their agreement. In a couple years you might even be able to charge them to check. [/QUOTE]
