Not in this market. We're up to at least 50 sell out posts now.

That’s a lot! Why do you think so many are selling out? I see people selling their flocks on the Katahdin FB groups, but nowhere near that many. My thoughts, I believe the economy, with high inflation and high costs of everything, are making people taking a serious look at what they are spending money on. Feed, Hay, goodbye sheep.

Dang cute pics like that make me want a moo or too. But I hope I know better reading about cows and goats getting out remind me I should be good just the way it is here. Oh and the cute bunny pics

Having them all and sheep, I'd say the goats are h=ll. But cattle are easy to contain with a hot wire or three.

Yes, all of that, plus the droughts and the registry dramas.
Plus, the general quitters who buy for cute wittle sheep looks, then give up after 1-4 years. These are constant. Thy usually hate the shearing and didn't research it, thought they'd be like goats/overly in your face like dogs, easy to contain, shouldn't of gotten any livestock to begin with/thought they could be farmers but didn't have it in them.
Also, the market might be finally bottoming out.
