Karakul Sheep

The Karakul is possibly the oldest domesticated sheep breed in the world. They are native to Central Asia’s deserts and feature open faces with fine bone structure. Their ears are pendulous and they have a thick tail, which stores extra nourishment and is similar in function to the hump of a camel. The Karakul can adapt to a variety of climates and very resilient animals with docile personalities. They are capable of raising sheep well and are known to live long lives. Their fleece is often white, blue, tan, silver, gray or reddish-brown in color. At birth, the lambs have a thick fleece coat that is known as “Persian Lamb Fur.” It is common for the Karakul to be double-coated and they are primarily used in wool production and are sought after by the world’s hand spinners.
