Abstract: Sheep enterprise budgets for 1974 are presented for major producing areas of the 17 Western States. Summaries of production, costs, returns, and operating practices are given for enterprises of various sizes and with different management systems. Most sheep businesses did not have sufficient sales in 1974 to cover all expenses, and about 35 percent were unable to pay cash costs. Businesses in Texas-New Mexico realized the greatest return to invested capital. Small farm flocks in the wheat-corn areas of the Northern Plains States were least profitable.
