I'm not really sure.... coz' we also have cows and goats..... so maybe a sheep can survive but in cool places? Maybe in the north?

It gets in the high 90's and sometimes 100+ here in Florida....
Here's some info about sheep in the Philippines http://www.pinoybisnes.com/livestock-business/raising-sheep-in-philippines/

Our new sheep handling pens.
This is where the the sheep get their checkups, have their weights monitored and recorded, anthelmintic treatments, medicines, de-lousing treatments, vaccinations, hoof triimming etc.

A few months ago, we bought some substrate seconds from one of our material suppliers up in Georgia, Our salesman asked what all the material was for and when my Wife told him it was for building sheep pens, he wanted to know what breed. Turned out he raises the same breed we do; American Blackbellies, So when he asked if I would be willing to trade rams, I said I would consider it after the fall breeding season because I could still use my ram one more time. In the meantime, we exchanged photos of our rams, I weighed mine and sent over his weight but the other fellow didn't know the weight of his ram. I was not prepared for what was to come.

Saturday, my Wife and I made the trip up into GA to make the trade and when I saw this big guy, I couldn't believe the size of him. The photos he had sent were also from the side and didn't show just how massive his horns are. I told my salesman that I felt like he was getting the short end of the stick but he assured me that he was happy with the trade and that the rams would improve both our herds. . This big guy is a MONSTER. God sure made some magnificent looking critters.
