Sheep numbers in the UK have fallen to their lowest levels in living memory due to rising operational costs, reduced farming subsidies, post-Brexit trade deals increasing foreign competition, and a significant drop in domestic lamb and mutton consumption over the past fifty years. While some farmers are shifting towards cattle or nature-recovery schemes to improve profitability and biodiversity, others face an uncertain future. However, strong demand from the UK's growing Muslim population for halal meat continues to provide a vital domestic market for the sheep industry.
