18 bucks a kilo now I had a look. 30-40 for kids on their first shearing. The guys still send me letters every now and then seeing if I have some. Be careful of getting into random breeds if you only have 20 acre, take a look at what bigger farms are doing and try to make a small version of that would be my advice. Although I don't know much about the normal farm practices in denmark. Just because it's small doesn't mean you have to have random goats and stuff on it, or some pedigree cow, you can have a neat little high performing flock of sheep or something like that which is more "conventional". But those angoras have been around a fair while now if you like them.

Something you might find is if you have a breeding flock you might like to take it in certain directions as you get more experience. Sheep are pretty flexible things. You can introduce different rams keep some of the ewe lambs cull some. You can find something that works best for you and your piece of dirt and climate and for market condition and that may turn out more interesting than asking, what breed of sheep should I get? If you are into that anyway
