Traditionally sheep rearing system has either been stationary or migratory. Migratory sheep rearing is quite common among the economically weaker sections of the society, which continues to be an important source of income and employment. The study on migratory Deccani sheep rearing families in Belagavi district was undertaken during 2018. A total of 180 respondents (90 families) were selected by purposive snow ball sampling method. The primary data was collected with the help of self-structured pre -tested interview schedule. The data was analyzed using suitable statistical tests such as, frequency, percentages, z-test and correlation. The results revealed that men were prominent in the most of the outdoor activities and the women contributed in indoor sheep rearing activities. In all activities of sheep rearing, significant difference was seen in participation of men and women. Majority of men (83.33 %) were belonged to high category of participation and most (90.00 %) of the women had medium participation. Hence, the study suggests to plan various training programmes to educate the migrating shepherds for their better participation in sheep rearing activities to make it more profitable.
