Sheep farming is the raising and breeding of domestic sheep. It is a branch of animal husbandry. Sheep are raised principally for their meat (lamb and mutton), milk (sheep's milk), and fiber (wool). They also yield sheepskin and parchment.
Sheep can be raised in range of temperate climates, including arid zones. Farmers build fences, housing, shearing sheds and other facilities on their property, such as for water, feed, transport and pest control. Most farms are managed so sheep can graze pastures, sometimes under the control of a shepherd or sheep dog.
The major sources of income for a farm will come from the sale of lambs and the shearing of sheep for their wool. Farmers can select from various breeds suitable for their region and market conditions. When the farmer sees that a ewe (female adult) is showing signs of heat or estrus, they can organise for mating with males. New born lambs are typically subject to tail docking and males may be castrated.[1]
Newborn lambs can survive without their mothers, providing they are given love and security. They need to be checked on frequently and given powdered milk. Read back of packet for instructions of ratios. Newborn will need around 500ml if they will take it every couple of hours to get there strength. Once they are strong enough, their dosage of milk can be more, and fed around 5 times a day. At this point they will be fine to be left all night on their own. Lambs are very intelligent and can remember faces for up to 2 years. They are very loving animals that need a lot of space and company.
