Four years to double your income is pretty impressive!! And your strategy is exactly what I try to advocate. It's nice to know it works for some folks.
It is strange how one area can have the market collapse while another area see the highest prices in years. The auction in the next town over from me, where barbs usually go for $25-$35, is selling them, and goats, for $80-$90.

Carol,
This is true. I have made improvents in my market. I bought my first ewe's for $25 four years ago. I raised my prices last lambing from $35 to $50 for mixed lambs. My neighbor was selling for $40 and saw I was getting $50, so now she is asking $50.
