hello Sir
Sheep can be reared as free range (where there is no shortage of land) or under housing inside a shed.
The advantages of sheep farming are:
Sheep do not need expensive buildings to house them and on the other hand require less labour than other kinds of livestock. The foundation stock is relatively cheap and the flock can be multiplied rapidly.
Sheep are economical converter of grass into meat and wool.
Sheep will eat varied kinds of plants compared to other kind of livestock. This makes them excellent weed destroyer.
Unlike goats, sheep hardly damage any tree.
The production of wool, meat and manure provides three different sources of income to the shepherd.
The structure of their lips helps them to clean grains lost at harvest time and thus convert waste feed into profitable products.
Mutton is one kind of meat towards, which there is no prejudice by any community in India and further development of superior breeds for mutton production will have a great scope in the developing economy of India.
