The Churro sheep is a breed of domestic sheep known for its distinctive long, spiral horns and unique fleece. Originating from the Spanish sheep brought to the Americas, these animals are well-adapted to arid environments. They are primarily raised for their wool, which is coarse and durable, making it suitable for various textile products. Churro sheep are also valued for their hardiness and ability to thrive in harsh conditions. They are often used in sheep herding and are an important part of the cultural heritage of the Southwestern United States, particularly among Native American communities.
