The sheep industry has definitely faced challenges through the years. It has grown and adapted to the changes in the world market. The wool market has been more innovative fitting the needs of the customer and reintroducing the fine qualities of wool. The meat market has heard the call of consumers who want to know where their food comes from and who are the farmers producing the products they eat. Sheep are being used in non-traditional ways such as in land management and for treating diseases in humans. The benefits of sheep go beyond the traditional commodities of meat and fiber.
