Sheep breeds

Sheep breeds are different types of sheep developed for specific traits like wool quality, meat production, or adaptability. For example, Suffolk sheep are known for their fast growth and meat, while Merino sheep produce fine, soft wool prized in textiles. Some breeds are hardy and suited to harsh climates, such as the Rambouillet, while others excel in milk production like the East Friesian. Breeds vary in size, fleece type, and star traits, making them suitable for various farming needs. Understanding these differences helps farmers select the best breed for their environment and goals.
