Sheep rearing in Ireland is mainly confined to the drier eastern areas of the country and to dry uplands. Short, fine grass and a rocky pasture will suit most sheep but they also need a frequent water supply to supplement the dew they take in with the grass.

The rearing or keeping of animals in order to obtain meat or other products, such as milk, skins, and hair. Animals can be kept in one place or periodically moved (nomadic pastoralism).
