Sell the wool, cheese with the milk, no?

They don't produce that much milk, I'm guessing need a lot of sheep to make milk production/cheese worthwhile, plus four are male and I'm not milking them...

As mentioned, the wool is worth next to nothing in small quantities... Has to be cleaned and sorted after shearing. I get a small subsidy and tax relief from the government, who want to encourage small farmsteads and keep population out of urban areas, which covers some of the costs.. the reason I got them was that I inherited them from a neighbour, they cut the grass and eat the weeds so maintain the land and planned to sell them eventually... I'm now in a minus on them, ha

Cohen’s engineering career began in 1952, when she worked as a junior engineer at North American Aviation. After graduation from USC Viterbi School of Engineering in 1957, she went on to work at Space Technology Laboratories. Space Technology Laboratories eventually became TRW (acquired by Northrop Grumman in 2002). She stayed with the company until her retirement in 1990. Her engineering work included work on the guidance computer for the Minuteman missile.

Cohen was born into a Jewish family in Brooklyn, New York. By fifth grade, her classmates were paying her to do their math homework. She was often the only girl in her math classes, and decided she wanted to become a math teacher. By age 19, she was studying engineering in college, and dancing ballet in the Metropolitan Opera Ballet company in New York. She received a scholarship to Brooklyn College to major in math, but realized she preferred engineering. After two years at Brooklyn College, Cohen married and moved to California, working as a junior engineer for North American Aviation, attending the University of Southern California (USC) at night1. She said that she went through both her BS and MS programs at USC without ever meeting another female engineering student.
