The article discusses the experience of restoring sheep stock in the Samara region under counter-sanctions. During the economic reform years, the number of sheep in the region decreased by 10 times. However, the introduction in 2014 of reciprocal restrictions on the import of food products from European countries made it possible to partially restore the population. Over this period, it has grown almost 2 times. As the experience of creating new sheep farms in modern conditions shows, it is necessary to change the old specialization (wool production) to a new one - lamb production. Polyester sheep breeds are better suited for this purpose. With an integrated approach to the implementation of an investment project in sheep farming, high profitability indicators can be achieved. Starting with 300 ewes and spending about 15 million rubles for the purchase of breeding stock, equipment, construction, in two and a half years, the number of productive stock can be brought up to 1000 head. The calculations showed that in this case the payback period of the projects is no more than 4-5 years, depending on the scale of production, the chosen pace of development, and the depth of products processing.
