sheep population dynamics

Sheep population dynamics involve changes in sheep numbers influenced by birth rates, death rates, and environmental factors. When conditions are favorable—ample food, good weather—more lambs are born, and sheep survive better, increasing the population. Conversely, harsh conditions, disease, or predators can reduce numbers. Management practices like breeding, hunting, or culling also impact populations. These dynamics fluctuate over time, often following cycles or responding to habitat changes, ensuring populations remain balanced within their ecosystems or agricultural systems.
