How much on average can you make a year on wool from sheep?

That is like asking how much does a gallon of gas cost? It depends on where you live, what time of year, economic conditions, among many other reasons. The amount of wool you get off of one sheep can vary depending on many factors like size, breed, quality, time of year, and other factors. Therefore the amount you will sell the wool for varies just as much. It depends on the grade of the wool, the cleanliness, the staple length, the color, and other factors. Generally you can shear 1-10lbs of wool per sheep and you can get $0.10 per pound for tags and poor wool up to $2.00 or more per pound for clear top grade wool. So basically the answer is it depends.

How much does a pound of lambs wool cost?

It depends greatly on what the wool is intended for and what form it is produced in. Knitted sweaters, for example, are much more costly ounce for ounce than wool yarn, which is more costly than wool roving, which is more costly than an unprocessed fleece. It also depends on the sort of wool being produced. Some wools are more desirable than others. For example, shetland wool will generally be more dear than corriedale and requires greater care in production. Then consider how the individual animals are kept. Kept on pasture it costs less to feed them, but the quality of the wool suffers from more vegetative debris such as burrs. When great care is taken to keep the animals clean it costs more, but the quality of the fleeces being produced is much greater and they fetch a greater price at market. Lastly, consider how the fleece is harvested. If a professional sheers the sheep with no "second cuts" then the fleece will be worth more money than if an amateur sheers it with less skill.
