Sheep Breeding

Sheep breeding involves selecting and mating sheep to produce offspring with desirable traits, such as better wool quality, growth rate, or disease resistance. Breeders assess the genetic background of animals, aiming to improve specific characteristics within a flock. This process can include natural mating or artificial insemination and often utilizes pedigree records to track lineage. Breeding aims to enhance productivity while maintaining the health and well-being of the animals. By carefully managing genetics, breeders contribute to the sustainability and economic viability of sheep farming, which is important for wool, meat, and milk production.
