sheep farmers

Ranchers with flocks

Sheep farmers are people who raise sheep, typically for wool, meat, or milk.

The term is straightforward—farmers whose livestock are sheep rather than cattle or crops.

Sheep farmers in New Zealand outnumber the human population they serve.

Also called sheep ranchers in regions where ranching is the dominant term.
