History

A concise historical narrative of NAICS Code 112410-03 covering global milestones and recent developments within the United States.

  • Sheep farming has been an important industry worldwide for centuries. The domestication of sheep dates back to around 11,000 years ago, and since then, sheep have been used for their wool, meat, and milk. In the 18th and 19th centuries, the Industrial Revolution brought significant advancements to the industry, including the development of machines for shearing and spinning wool. In the United States, sheep farming became a significant industry in the 19th century, with the establishment of large-scale ranches in the western states. Today, the industry continues to evolve, with advancements in breeding techniques, animal health, and sustainability practices. In recent history, the sheep farming industry in the United States has faced challenges due to changing consumer preferences and competition from other industries. The demand for wool has declined, and the industry has shifted its focus to meat production. In the 20th century, the industry faced significant declines due to competition from the beef and pork industries. However, in recent years, there has been a resurgence of interest in lamb meat, and the industry has seen some growth as a result. Additionally, the industry has been impacted by changing environmental regulations and concerns about animal welfare. Despite these challenges, the industry remains an important part of the agricultural sector in the United States.
