Answer 2

its to make them tighter so when the farmer has s*x w/ them it feels better...

Answer 3

for better products e.g wool,meat,milk,hide e.t.c

Answer 4

Genetically modifying livestock can make it grow faster, grow better wool, and any other favorable traits that would take hundreds of years of random selective breeding to accomplish.

Answer 5

more meat, more milk, more wool, ability to milk spider web (i'm serious)

spider web is the strongest material known to humans and yet it is so strecheble... one milking of a GM sheep would produce as much spider web as one million spiders for a year
