Sheep farming has become an important activity in the north of Côte d'Ivoire, particularly, in the city of Korhogo. However, no study has yet focused on the actors of this practice in the city of Korhogo. The objective of this study was to determine the demographic characteristics of sheep breeders in the city of Korhogo as well as their motivation sources for this practice. Thus, a survey was conducted in the town of Korhogo on sheep breeders who had more than 5 animals. It was found that this activity is carried out mainly by Sénoufo and Malinké of Ivorian nationality. The age range of the population interested in this type of farming is between 31 and 80 years old, with 86% of men. Few of these farms have existed for more than 10 years. Traders and civil servants are the main actors. They are motivated not only by love and passion but also by the need to support their families
