sheep ranch

Flock-raising operation

A sheep ranch is a large farm where sheep are raised, typically for wool, meat, or both.

Common in regions with extensive grazing land—Australia, New Zealand, the American West—sheep ranches may cover thousands of acres.

His grandfather ran a sheep ranch in Montana.

The term distinguishes these operations from cattle ranches.
