Sheep husbandry is the raising and breeding of domestic sheep. Sheep farming is primarily based on raising lambs for meat, or raising sheep for wool. Sheep may also be raised for milk. Some farmers specialize in breeding sheep to sell to other farmers.
Animal care
Shelter and Environment: Sheep are kept in flocks — in pens, in a barn or on pasture. In cold climates sheep need shelter in the winter. Sheep need shelter from rain for a day before shearing so that the fleece is manageable.
Health Care: Sheep, particularly those kept inside, are vaccinated when they are newborn lambs. Farmers work with animal nutritionists and veterinarians to keep sheep healthy and to manage animal health problems. Lambs may be castrated and have their tails shortened for cleanliness and to protect them from biting insects. Shearers or farmers need to remove wool from the hindquartes, around the anus, so that droppings do not adhere. In the southern hemisphere this is called dagging or crutching.
