Description An equity, efficiency and profitability aspect of migratory sheep production system was examined using primary data pertaining to year 2011 using Gini concentration ratio, data envelopment analysis, and cost accounting method, respectively. The study concluded an inverse relationship between size of farms and size of flocks, and per animal income realization was inversely related to flock size. Net income distribution was almost equitable among large flocks but still some scope existed for equitable income distribution among small flocks. Interestingly, landless sheep owners were technically more efficient but were allocating their resources judiciously. Allocative efficiency and farm size has directly positive relationship. Efforts are required in the forms of technologies, institutions and policies to enhance the production capacity of the sheep system besides tailoring the interventions to tap the existing potential.
