That’s really interesting. Poor sheep to start losing their teeth at only 4-5. What is their average lifespan? i’m assuming sheep bred for their fleece rather than for meat, end up as a dog food?

In broad acre farm the life span of a sheep is only about 7 years tops production wise. After about 5 years their wool production can decline significantly because of the loss of teeth. Once they reach 4 years their mouths are checked each year and any sign of losing teeth and the sheep/ewe is on its way to the sale yards. As for the meat/wool issue….the fine woolled sheep are bred for their wool which is made into finer garments next to one’s skin or suits…men’s and women’s. A finer woolled sheep has, comparatively little meat on it. Coarser woolled sheep are breed for meat. They grow more wool, which is made into carpets and external apparel. Comparing meat and wool sheep is a bit like comparing the bodies of a marathon runner and a weight lifter 🙂
And while sheep MAY BE turned into dog food, you are more likely to find lamb or mutton on your supermarket shelf. A roast leg of mutton has a beautiful flavour if there are some leftovers for the next day. When working in New South Wales I would often see farmers pick out the worst looking sheep in the pen for the shearers to eat. Not once did I hear a complaint, or grumbled about the flavour of our meals.

Thanks for that extra information, Woolly Muses. It is good to know what happens to our farm animals when they reach the end of their productive life.
