This research was conducted in Tugu Jaya Village, Cigombong District, Bogor Regency, West Java Province, in 2019, on smallholder sheep farmers. The purpose of this paper is to determine the financial feasibility of sheep business through improving the scale of maintenance. The study used survey methods, interviews and filling out questionnaires on 24 sheep farmers. Primary data and secondary data were analyzed descriptively, quantitatively and economically. The results showed that the profit from the traditional ram fattening business with a scale of 10 heads was IDR 10,480,000/farmer/period and the results of the analysis showed an R/C value of 1.62. The profit from fattening rams in the same way on a scale of 5 heads is IDR 3.997.500/farmer/period, with an R/C value of 1.41. The profit from breeding ewes on a scale of 3 heads is IDR 1.121.000/farmer/year, with an R/C value of 1.30. The profit from breeding ewe on a scale of 2 heads is IDR 375,000/farmer/year with an R/C value of 1.11. Financially, the sheep business is feasible to be continued by each farmer, because it will increase their economic value. The business of fattening rams on a scale of 10 heads can be increased to a scale of more than 10 heads/farmer and a breeding business of ewes from a scale of 3 heads, needs to be increased to more than 3 heads/farmer, so that the economic value of farmers will be optimal.
