In the live sheep market in Upper Myanmar, ewes weighing over 10 viss are priced at around 18,000 Myanmar kyat per viss. When calculated by pound, the price ranges from 5,000 to 6,000 Myanmar kyat per pound. Rams weighing over 15 viss are priced at over 23,000 Myanmar kyat per viss. When calculated by pound, the price ranges from 6,500 to 7,000 Myanmar kyat per pound. A live sheep trader in Upper Myanmar, Ko Kyaw, said, "Nowadays, the market price of sheep is very high. Here, ewes are sold at 5,000 Myanmar kyat per pound, and rams at 6,500 Myanmar kyat per pound. Other sellers have even higher prices." Although the selling price of live sheep varies by region and distance, it is understood that the current lowest selling price is 5,000 Myanmar kyat per pound. It is reported that the current rise in live sheep market prices is due not only to demand from abroad but also to increasing domestic consumption. In addition, in the domestic sheep farming sector, the reduction of sheep farmers in some areas due to local conditions has led to a decrease in market supply and an increase in demand, thus driving up the live sheep market prices. He added, "Live sheep are exported abroad, and now domestic meat consumption has increased. The price of mutton has gone up, so the purchase price of live sheep has also increased. Now, both rams and ewes are being bought." Sheep farming is mainly concentrated in Upper Myanmar, such as Magway Region and Mandalay Region. Other regions, such as Sagaing Region, Bago Region, and other states and divisions, also engage in sheep farming according to local conditions. It is understood that sheep are less prone to illness and grow faster during the dry season, while they are more prone to illness and grow slower during the rainy season.
