Mecheri sheep

Mecheri sheep are a hardy, indigenous breed from India, known for their adaptability to variable climatic conditions and marginal lands. They have a distinctive appearance with medium-sized bodies, a white coat, and slightly curved horns. Valued for their fine wool and meat, Mecheri sheep contribute significantly to local agriculture and livelihoods. Their drought tolerance and resistance to common sheep diseases make them well-suited for pastoral farming, especially in arid and semi-arid regions. This breed plays a vital role in maintaining ecological balance and supporting rural economies.
