The lake district is good for sheep farming because sheep have specially adapted hooves so they can stay on the hills. They can cope with the lake districts cold and wet climate. The land in the lake district isn't arable enough to farm crops, so if crops were planted on the hills/slopes they would be washed away when it rained.
