Following the unexpected decreasing of the number of sheep, after 1995, there a consequence of unfavourable epizoological conditions, since 2000 till now on, is noticed increase in the number. The quantity of produced mutton is usually in proportion with the number of sheep, the greatest part of the produced meat (56%) is exported in Italy.
