A sheep grazier is a farmer who raises sheep for wool, meat, or both. The term "sheep grazier" is often used in the context of weather warnings issued by the Bureau of Meteorology in Australia. These warnings are issued to alert sheep farmers that forecast weather conditions could kill their livestock, particularly during winter months when the risk of losses is higher. The warning is mainly for sheep farmers, as the cold weather can cause sheep death, especially for freshly shorn and young sheep, and ewes in the third trimester of pregnancy, and sheep light in condition (body fat) . When farmers see the warning, they take action to protect their sheep, such as moving them to the most protected paddocks, ensuring they have access to good feed, and putting them into a shed to shelter them from the weather. The Bureau of Meteorology puts out weather warning updates several times a day, and these warnings are also announced on local radio stations.
