sheep farmer
Raises woolly livestock
A sheep farmer is someone who raises sheep, typically for wool, meat, or both.
The term is straightforward and descriptive: My grandfather was a sheep farmer in New Zealand.
In regions where sheep raising dominates the agricultural economy, sheep farmers may simply be called farmers or graziers.
