Abstract: As the demand for beef，lamb and milk increases，the recent years have witnessed opportunities of development for the cattle and sheep breeding industry，which is also facilitated by supportive policy of the government. This paper aims to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the cattle and sheep industry in South China， and to seek possible solutions to enhance the situation based on solid analyses. As per our examination，the strengths include the access to an enormous market，rich grazing resources，quality local breeds，and strong policy support. Theweaknesses include the rather large proportion and low quality of small??scale farms，serious problems with feed supply large??scale farms are facing，climate related difficulties in disease prevention，productivity and forage storage，low breed quality，and an incomplete industrial chain. Solutions were offered in this paper as well. The industry should encourage large??scale farming companies to incorporate with business sectors both up and down the industrial chain. Leading companies could benefit from provide financial support and technical services for small farms. Cooperation may be built between research institutes and farming companies to promote technologies.
