Answer 2

Answer:

Sheep rearing

Historically sheep were introduced to a large proportion of Australian pastoral regions. During the 1800's you could not transport live animals or chilled meat products easily, but wool was in demand and non-perishable. It helps that the industry was established prior to the development of synthetic fibres. A sheep station is a large property (station, the equivalent of a ranch) in Australia or New Zealand whose main activity is the raising of sheep for their wool and meat. In Australia, sheep stations are usually in the south-east or south-west of the country.

Rearing of sheep means to look after the sheep by providing them food, shelter and health care. breeding is done to obtain animals with desired characters . ... these are then crossed [ made to reproduce ] to obtain new breed of the animals having desirable characters of both parents . This is called selective breeding.
