Sheep are kept as livestock for their wool, meat, and milk, hence the term "sheep husbandry" describes the process of raising sheep from birth to slaughter. Sheep have been farmed for thousands of years, making them one of the earliest domesticated animals. Sheep are raised commercially in extensive grasslands in Australia and the United States, as well as in the highlands of Scotland. Sheep are well-known for their resilience and versatility, and they can thrive in a variety of environments. In comparison to other livestock, they are also low-maintenance, requiring only a little amount of food and care. Sheep may be hardy, but they still need careful management and attention to ensure they thrive. Maintaining a healthy and productive flock requires attention to feeding, disease control, and housing conditions.
