摘要：
A sustainable sheep will enhance the farm’s biological diversity, and may fit economic and biological niches that would otherwise go unfilled. The relatively small investment required, and the gradually increasing size of the flock, make sheep production a good choice for the beginning small-scale or part-time farmer. With these goals in mind, sustainable sheep production combines low-cost feeding housing and temperament, controlled grazing, creation of high-quality pastures. The animals with calm temperament were better reproduction traits and feed conversation efficiency then nervous (stressed) animals.
