Sheep, Beautiful and Useful Domestic Animals

 


Sheep comprise livestock of value for various communities.

The population of sheep is about one billion globally. 

Sheep have agricultural and economic value as they are a source of meat (mutton or lamb), milk, skin, and wool.

A collection of sheep is known as a flock.

Sheep are herbivores and, therefore, they graze on roughage, legumes, vines, and grass. Occasionally, sheep rest to chew the cud. 

Sheep have the herd and gregarious behavior as they adhere to the dominance hierarchy follow the leader naturally to new pasture.
