Why do different sheep raisers choose different breeds?
One of the reasons for raising a specific breed of sheep is if that breed of sheep does well in that climate. I am in a very wet climate and the most popular breed of sheep here is Romney. Romney sheep were developed in the Romney marsh of England and do very well here in the Pacific northwest of USA. I have crossed my Romney with Borderlester so a slightly larger frame and wool with a little luster to it. Also a significant factor in deciding what breed to raise, is what market are you raising sheep for. I am raising sheep to be processed at a professional USDA processing plant. Where it will be put in a grocery store or I will sell it at a Farmers market. I am charged by the animal, so a large frame is more economical. In the Middle east it is custom for folks to butcher their own lamb for festivals and a large family may consume a whole small sheep in a few days with minimal concern about refrigeration. So in the Middle East a smaller lamb with excellent taste is what the Shepards are breeding for.
I want to have sheep which breed is best for me?
This question is impossible to answer since we have no idea as to where you live, what your management goals and objectives are for these sheep, what type of sheep you're interested in--wool, meat or dairy sheep--your personal preferences, whether you're an experienced sheep producer or a complete newbie, and other criteria that must be met before we can ever possibly give you a straight-forward answer. As a result, you will get a pile of different answers as to what is "best," but keep in mind that many users on this website come from all over the world, and rarely do they ever live within 10 km or miles of where your farm is. Also remember that there is no such thing as a best breed. All breeds have their faults, regardless of what a producer tries to market to you, so it's ultimately up to you to do your own research and brain storm what breed is truly the best for you.

What is the expression of rode on sheep's back?
The expression is not actually "rode on the sheep's back" but "built on the sheep's back". Australia is often referred to as the country that was built on the sheep's back. That is because the wool industry is one of Australia's earliest industries, and the one that initially propelled Australia into success as a self-sufficient colony, able to trade with England in its own right. Australia's economic success and political development was "built on the sheep's back".
How do people get food on a sheep station?
It depends on how remote the "sheep station" is. Mostly these days, it is cattle stations which are really remote as many wool growers have switched to cattle for meat. Generally, if the landowners can't get to a local shop they do a monthly shop which comes in by truck.
