Summary
Organic sheep production in Germany is characterised by diverse production systems. With the choice of breed, flock size and farming methods, sheep farming is feasible under a variety of conditions. The status-quo of the organic sheep sector was analysed based on German-wide surveys of organic sheep farms. This generated new information on current farm organisations and production processes. Weaknesses were identified in production of organic lamb and sheep milk. Conversion of conventional sheep husbandry to organic production methods will only become an interesting option if the problems identified are addressed and improved.
