I have a herd of 5 right now with two on the way next month. I raise them for wool and meat. Super hardy, small and will graze anything. Not much care to them and being so small, they are good around kids. I get 40.00 to 80.00 each for the wool depending on the colors. I like that they pay for themselves after two years and feed us the fourth and fifth.
