“We’re raising our own sheep – around 400 in all – because we saw the potential in us being a farm-to-table environment,” said Manuel.
“A lot of Bajans like local lamb, and I think we spend millions in importing it a year, but if I were to raise sheep to sell to the local markets, it would not be worth it. If we are to really make a business out of lamb meat, we have to look at the prices.” (CA)
