We present measurements of the current-phase relation (CPR) of superconductor-ferromagnet-superconductor (SFS) Josephson junctions as a function of temperature. The CPR is determined by incorporating the junction into a superconducting loop coupled to a dc SQUID, allowing measurement of the junction phase difference. We find that the critical current of $mathrm{Nb} ext{ensuremath{-}}{mathrm{Cu}}_{0.47}{mathrm{Ni}}_{0.53} ext{ensuremath{-}}mathrm{Nb}$ Josephson junctions with barrier thickness $ensuremath{sim}22phantom{
ule{0.3em}{0ex}}mathrm{nm}$ changes sign at $Tl{T}_{ensuremath{pi}}ensuremath{sim}2--4phantom{
ule{0.3em}{0ex}}mathrm{K}$, indicating that the junction becomes a $ensuremath{pi}$ Josephson junction. We find no evidence for second-order Josephson tunneling near ${T}_{ensuremath{pi}}$ in the CPR predicted by several theories.
