The advantages of raising sheep include:
- They produce wool to be used/sold
- They don't take much work, leave them to do their thing on a bit of land!
- They can be slaughtered for meat to be eaten by you or sold
- They can often maintain the quality of the landscape they are kept on
- You wont need to keep buying more (obviously) because they will produce their own young
- And ofcourse they are a great addition to the family, why wouldnt you want lambs bouncing round the field in spring? :)

What is the definiton of '' selective breeding''?
Selective breeding is where you breed animals or plants in such a way as to increase the desirable traits, or characteristics. By specifically selecting breeding partners with high levels of these desirable traits, the likelihood of the offspring having these traits increases. Over several generations, these desirable traits become more and more profound. For example, if farmers take only the best sheep for breeding, then they can be more assured that future generations of sheep will have the same or even improved characteristics. Selective breeding also works in a similar way when developing new crops, or the breeding of dogs for example. Its all about human intervention, where the breeding partners are chosen (or selected) by people.
