Why Is the U.S. Sheep Industry So Small? 
The U.S. has over 330 million people, but its sheep industry is surprisingly tiny compared to global leaders like Australia and New Zealand. In this video, we explore the fascinating history, challenges, and opportunities of the American sheep industry and why it’s struggling to compete on the world stage. From wool production to lamb consumption, we’ll uncover the truth about sheep farming in the USA and how it stacks up against other countries.
What You’ll Learn:
Why the U.S. sheep industry has declined from 56 million sheep in the 1940s to just 5 million today.
How Australia and New Zealand dominate the global market with their wool exports and lamb production.

Why Americans consume only 0.4 pounds of lamb per person annually, compared to 25 pounds in New Zealand.
The rise of niche markets in the U.S., like grass-fed lamb, artisan cheeses, and sustainable wool.
Why This Matters:
Sheep farming may be small in America, but it’s an essential part of rural economies and sustainable agriculture. As consumers increasingly demand local, eco-friendly products, could the U.S. sheep industry make a comeback?
