Hundreds of millions of head of sheep can be grazed on this vast area of Kazakhstan. Kazakhstan agriculture - cotton harvest
In the recent past only fat-rumped, coarse-hair sheep famous for their robustness and endurance were bred in Kazakhstan agriculture.

Livestock breeding in Kazakhstan is a highly mechanized industry based on the latest achievements of science and technology. Kazakhstan allocates huge funds for its further development. Hundreds of urban-type settlements with wide streets, blocks of flats that are supplied with water and electricity, and gardens have sprung up in the desert and semi-desert of Kazakhstan. The necessary funds have been allocated for the construction of motor roads, dwelling houses and production in Kazakhstan. Kazakhstan agriculture - sheep
