HOW TO RAISE SHEEP

1

Plan and Choose the Right Breed


Decide on your purpose (wool, meat, milk, or pets).

Research local regulations and costs.

Select a breed that fits your goals (e.g., Merino for wool, Suffolk for meat).

2

Set Up Housing and Fencing


Build a well-ventilated shelter to protect sheep from weather.

Install strong fencing to prevent escapes and keep predators out.

Allocate at least 0.5–1 acre of pasture for every 3–5 sheep.

3

Provide Proper Nutrition


Ensure access to fresh pasture, hay, and clean water.

Supplement diets with grain for pregnant or nursing sheep.

Offer sheep-specific mineral blocks (avoid copper-heavy mixes).

4

Health and Maintenance


Shear wool breeds annually and trim hooves regularly.

Implement parasite control and vaccinations with a vet’s guidance.

Monitor for common health issues like foot rot, parasites, and bloat.

5

Breeding and Flock Care


Breeding season typically occurs in the fall, with lambs born in spring.

Ensure proper nutrition and prepare for lambing with a clean, quiet space.

Maintain a flock of at least 2-3 sheep, as they are social animals.
