Keto Carnivore:Dream of the Sheep Farm Becoming More Real?

I mentioned in my post yesterday how I have been dreaming for many, many years of having a self-sufficient homestead where I would raise sheep for meat (and wool). I feel like I want to start making this dream more real. I have been reading books and watching YouTube videos on raising sheep and lambs on strictly pasture, and how to do the slaughter and butchering.

Yesterday I contacted one of the local sheep farmers from whom I purchase whole lambs and sheep and asked about doing a weekend-long apprenticeship. They were open to the idea and maybe I will be able to set that up next month!

I found some nice property out in Texas which is affordable. And apparently, Texas is the number one state for sheep production in the USA! So that's great. This property is in an area with a lot of wild bighorn sheep, so I would think it is a good area to raise sheep strictly on pasture. So I asked for some vacation time next time to go out and see the land.

It's a pretty crazy idea, I know. And probably not going to happen really. And if it doesn't, that's OK! I am happy with being able to buy 100% grassfed beef and lamb from my local farmers with whom I have a great relationship!
