Navajo-Churro Sheep
The Navajo-Churro sheep is a heritage breed known for its hardiness and adaptability to harsh environments. Originating from the Spanish Churra sheep brought to North America in the 16th century, this breed has been an important part of Navajo culture for centuries, providing wool, meat, and milk.
Navajo-Churro sheep are easily recognizable by their unique, long, and curly wool, which comes in various colors. They are also valued for their ability to thrive on sparse grazing land, making them well-suited for the arid landscapes of the Southwestern United States. Their resilience and historical significance contribute to their ongoing conservation efforts.
