Analysis
NAICS 1124 is the 2022 industry group for sheep and goat farming, part of 112 (Animal Production and Aquaculture). Census lists 10 example activities under it in the official index.
Across its national industries Census lists 10 index entries; typical ones are dairy sheep farming and angora goat farming.
Its goods appear in 15 statistical lines of the US tariff schedule, mostly under headings 5102 (fine or coarse animal hair, not carded or combed), 5101 (wool, not carded or combed) and 0104 (live sheep and goats). That link is how import data is matched to domestic producers, for example in trade-remedy cases.
County Business Patterns does not cover crop and animal production, so there is no establishment count for it; farms are counted by the Census of Agriculture instead.
Official definition
This industry group comprises establishments primarily engaged in raising sheep, lambs, and goats, or feeding lambs for fattening.
