The California Red is a breed of domestic sheep developed in the United States . It is so named because its lambs are born all red , and retain this color in their faces and limbs in to adulthood . In the early 1970s , Dr. Glenn Spurlock of Davis , California crossed Tunis sheep and Barbados Blackbelly sheep , and the California Red is consequently a dual-purpose breed with many of the qualities of its forebears , the out-of season breeding qualities and fleece of the Tunis and the heat tolerance and carcase quality of the Blackbelly . Spurlock actually set out to create a new hair sheep like the Barbados Blackbelly , but though he failed to do so - California Reds have reddish tan hairs intermingled with white wool . - he and other breeders continued to keep developing the strain anyway . The California Red can lamb out of season , thus being able to produce multiple lamb crops in a year . It also functions well in hot weather , and is polled in both sexes .
The United States of America ( USA ) , commonly known as the United States ( U.S. or US ) or America , is a country consisting of 50 states , a federal district , five major self-governing territories , and various possessions . [ g ] At 3.8 million square miles ( 9.8 million km2 ) , it is the world 's third or fourth-largest country by total area [ b ] and is slightly smaller than the entire continent of Europe . Most of the country is located in central North America between Canada and Mexico . With an estimated population of over 328 million , the U.S. is the third most populous country in the world . The capital is Washington , D.C. , and the most populous city is New York City . Paleo-Indians migrated from Siberia to the North American mainland at least 12,000 years ago . European colonization began in the 16th century . The United States emerged from the thirteen British colonies established along the East Coast . Numerous disputes between Great Britain and the colonies led to the American Revolutionary War lasting between 1775 and 1783 , leading to independence . The United States embarked on a vigorous expansion across North America throughout the 19th century - gradually acquiring new territories , displacing Native Americans , and admitting new states - until by 1848 it spanned the continent . During the second half of the 19th century , the American Civil War led to the abolition of slavery in the United States . The Spanish-American War and World War I confirmed the country 's status as a global military power .
The Romeldale is a breed of domestic sheep native to the United States . The breed 's name refers to the Romney rams and Rambouillet ewes which were crossed to create it around 1915 . The California Variegated Mutant or CVM is a rare sub-type of the Romeldale breed known for its unusual color , and is considered a derivative of the Romeldale . The majority of sources ( as well as the breed association ) refers to the two together as Romeldale/CVM .
The Cameroon is a domesticated breed of sheep from west Africa but has been also exported to Europe . During the colonial era , German and French rulers exported West African Dwarf sheep ( Djallonké ) to France and Germany . These usually ended up in private collections and zoos . The animals selected for export to Europe were almost all of the black belly color type . The chestnut-colored drawing is not prevalent in the Djallonké , but only one of many . Today these sheep are called Cameroon sheep or Cameroon Dwarf sheep in Europe . And incorrectly regarded as a separate breed . The International West African Dwarf Specialist Group of the African Ornamental Breeders Association ( AOBA ) considers what Europeans call the Cameroon sheep just a color type and not a separate breed .
West Africa is the westernmost region of Africa . The United Nations defines Western Africa as the 16 countries of Benin , Burkina Faso , Cape Verde , The Gambia , Ghana , Guinea , Guinea-Bissau , Ivory Coast , Liberia , Mali , Mauritania , Niger , Nigeria , Senegal , Sierra Leone and Togo , as well as the United Kingdom Overseas Territory of Saint Helena , Ascension and Tristan da Cunha . The population of West Africa is estimated at about 381 million people as of 2018 , and at 381,981,000 as of 2017 , of which 189,672,000 are female and 192,309,000 male .
The Laticauda is a breed of domestic sheep from Campania and Calabria , in southern Italy . It is a fat-tailed breed , which gives rise to the name Laticauda , broad-tailed . It is raised mainly in its area of origin in the provinces of Avellino , Benevento and Caserta , but is also found in the provinces of Cosenza , Matera and Naples . Like the Barbaresca breed of Sicily , it appears to result from the hybridisation of local breeds with Barbary ( or Barbarin ) sheep of Maghrebi origin . It has been suggested that these were first brought to the area by the Bourbon king Charles VII of Naples . The Laticauda is one of the seventeen autochthonous Italian sheep breeds for which a genealogical herdbook is kept by the Associazione Nazionale della Pastorizia , the Italian national association of sheep-breeders . Total numbers for the breed were estimated at 60,000 in 1983 ; in 2013 the number recorded in the herdbook was 2802 . The region of Campania estimates the total number at 7000 head . Lambs are usually slaughtered at the age of about a month , at a weight of 10-15 kg . Milk yield is about 120-140 litres per lactation . The milk has 7-13% fat and 5.5-8.5% protein ; it is the only milk used in the production of Pecorino di Laticauda Sannita , a pecorino cheese for which DOP status has been requested .
The Canadian Arcott is a breed of domestic sheep native to Canada . The latter half of its name is an acronym for the Animal Research Centre in Ottawa , where it was developed along with the Rideau Arcott and the Outaouais Arcott . This breed was a result of a crossbreeding program of Suffolk ( 37% ) , Ile de France ( 28% ) , Leicester ( 14% ) , North Country Cheviot ( 7% ) and Romnelet ( 6% ) ; the remaining 8% was contributed from Shropshire , Lincoln , Southdown Dorset , East Friesian , Finnsheep and Corriedale . This breed was developed to exhibit strong meat characteristics . Mature individuals are medium-sized as well as short and thick . These animals are able to adapt to pasture or confinement systems with ease .
Romania ( /roʊˈmeɪniə/ ( listen ) ro-MAY-nee-ə ; Romanian : România [ romɨˈni.a ] ( listen ) ) is a country located at the crossroads of Central , Eastern , and Southeastern Europe . It has borders with the Black Sea to the southeast , Bulgaria to the south , Ukraine to the north , Hungary to the west , Serbia to the southwest , and Moldova to the east . It has a predominantly temperate-continental climate . With a total area of 238,397 square kilometers ( 92,046 square miles ) , Romania is the 8th largest country and also the 6th most populous member state of the European Union , having almost 20 million inhabitants . Its capital and largest city is Bucharest , and other major urban areas include Cluj-Napoca , Timișoara , Iași , Constanța , Craiova , Brașov , and Galați . The River Danube , Europe 's second-longest river , rises in Germany 's Black Forest and flows in a general southeast direction for 2,857 km ( 1,775 mi ) , coursing through ten countries before emptying into Romania 's Danube Delta . The Carpathian Mountains , which cross Romania from the north to the southwest , include Moldoveanu Peak , at an altitude of 2,544 m ( 8,346 ft ) . Modern Romania was formed in 1859 through a personal union of the Danubian Principalities of Moldavia and Wallachia . The new state , officially named Romania since 1866 , gained independence from the Ottoman Empire in 1877 . Following World War I after declaring its neutrality in 1914 , when Romania fought on the side of the Allied powers starting with 1916 , Bukovina , Bessarabia , Transylvania as well as parts of Banat , Crișana , and Maramureș became part of the sovereign Kingdom of Romania . In June-August 1940 , as a consequence of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact and Second Vienna Award , Romania was compelled to cede Bessarabia and Northern Bukovina to the Soviet Union , and Northern Transylvania to Hungary . In November 1940 , Romania signed the Tripartite Pact and , consequently , in June 1941 entered World War II on the Axis side , fighting against the Soviet Union until August 1944 , when it joined the Allies and recovered Northern Transylvania .
The Castlemilk Moorit is a rare breed of domestic sheep ( also known as Moorit Shetland , Milledge Sheep , or Castlemilk Shetland ) originating in Dumfriesshire in Scotland . Created as a decorative breed in the 1900s to adorn the parkland of Sir John Buchanan Jardine 's estate , it is a mixture of several primitive types : Manx Loaghtan , Shetland and wild mouflon . The breed 's name refers to the Castlemilk Estate on which they were bred , and the Lowland Scots word moorit refers to the light tan or reddish-brown color of their fleeces . The Castlemilk Moorit is one of the Northern European short-tailed sheep group of breeds , having a short , triangular tail . It has horns in both sexes and a fleece that is usually moulted or rooed ( plucked ) rather than needing shearing . All Castlemilk Moorits are descended from a single flock of ten ewes and two rams , and the British Rare Breeds Survival Trust lists the breed as vulnerable , having a maximum of 900 registered animals . An important offshore population of Castlemilk Moorits in the Netherlands ( flockbook VSS ) and Belgium ( flockbook SLE ) helps to guarantee the future of the breed . The main use of this breed is hobby farming .
A hobby farm ( also called a lifestyle block in New Zealand , or acreage living or rural residential in Australia ) is a smallholding or small farm that is maintained without expectation of being a primary source of income . Some are merely to provide some recreational land , and perhaps a few horses for the family 's children . Others are managed as working farms for sideline income , or are even run at an ongoing loss as a lifestyle choice by people with the means to do so , functioning more like a country home than a business .
The Charmoise is a domesticated breed of sheep originating in France . The breed was developed in the middle 19th century in the center of France ( Loir et Cher ) by crossing imported Romney sheep from United Kingdom to ewes from local breeds ( Merino , Berrichon , Solognot ) . There is a monument in Pontlevoy , central France , to creator of the breed , Édouard Malingié ( 1799-1852 . The Charmoise is a meat breed . The population of this breed decreased from over 122,000 in 1993 to over 21,000 in 2001 .
The Charollais is a breed of domestic sheep originating in east central France , in the same region in which Charolais cattle originated , Charolles and Saône-et-Loire . It is known for ease of lambing and is used as a terminal sire to increase muscling and growth rate of the lambs . It has been exported internationally , and is commonly used in the United Kingdom as a sire to produce market lambs from pure-bred ewes and mules .
The Cheviot is a breed of white-faced sheep which gets its name from a range of hills in north Northumberland and the Scottish Borders . It is still common in this area of the United Kingdom , but also in north west Scotland , Wales , Ireland and the south west of England ( especially Dartmoor and Exmoor ) , as well as more rarely in Australia , New Zealand , Norway ( 2% ) , and the United States .

The Brecknock Hill Cheviot ( also known as Brecon Cheviot and Sennybridge Cheviot ) is a domesticated breed of sheep originating approximately 400 years ago from Wales . They are a result of crosses with Welsh Mountain , Cheviot and Leicester breeds . This breed is primarily raised for meat . It was introduced into the US in 1838 .
North Country Cheviot is a common breed of sheep raised mainly for meat production . Originated from Scotland .
The Chios is a breed of domestic sheep with specific unknown origins . It is classified as a semi-fat tailed breed . The Chios are bred mainly for their milk production . Although there is speculation that this breed may have been crossed with Kivircik and Dagliç , it is commonly accepted that it originated on the Greek island of Chios .
Chios ( /ˈkaɪ.ɒs , ˈkaɪ.oʊs , ˈkiː-/ ; Greek : Χίος , romanized : Khíos [ ˈçi.os ] ( listen ) ) is the fifth largest of the Greek islands , situated in the northern Aegean Sea . The island is separated from Turkey by the Chios Strait . Chios is notable for its exports of mastic gum and its nickname is the Mastic Island . Tourist attractions include its medieval villages and the 11th-century monastery of Nea Moni , a UNESCO World Heritage Site . Administratively , the island forms a separate municipality within the Chios regional unit , which is part of the North Aegean region . The principal town of the island and seat of the municipality is Chios . Locals refer to Chios town as Chora ( Χώρα literally means land or country , but usually refers to the capital or a settlement at the highest point of a Greek island ) . It was also the site of the Chios massacre , in which tens of thousands of Greeks on the island were massacred by Ottoman troops during the Greek War of Independence in 1822 .
The Cholistani is a breed of domestic sheep from Pakistan . Though the Cholistani grows wool , it is raised primarily for meat .
The Churra ( also known as Spanish Churro ) is an ancient Iberian breed of sheep from Zamora province in Castile and León . The ewes produce the milk for Zamorana cheese ; the meat is also prized . The Churra ( renamed churro by American frontiersmen ) [ citation needed ] was first imported to North America in the 16th century and used to feed Spanish armies and settlers . By the 17th Century , churras were popular with the Spanish settlers in the upper Rio Grande Valley . Flocks of churras were also acquired by Navajo through raids and trading , and soon became an important part of their economy and culture . In the early 1900s , the United States federal government decided that other breeds would be better for reservation life and a program of out-breeding nearly caused the churra sheep to go extinct . People concerned with quality of wool and the history and culture of the Navajo are making an effort to save the breed . Spanish traditional wisdom advises not to mix churras and merinas , i.e. , not to confuse different concepts . [ clarification needed ]
Croatia ( /kroʊˈeɪʃə/ ( listen ) , kroh-AY-shə ; Croatian : Hrvatska , pronounced [ xř̩ʋaːtskaː ] ) , officially the Republic of Croatia ( Croatian : Republika Hrvatska , listen ( help·info ) ) , [ d ] is a country in Southeast Europe . It borders Slovenia to the northwest , Hungary to the northeast , Serbia to the east , Bosnia and Herzegovina , and Montenegro to the southeast , sharing a maritime border with Italy . Its capital , Zagreb , forms one of the country 's primary subdivisions , along with twenty counties . Croatia has an area of 56,594 square kilometres ( 21,851 square miles ) and a population of 4.28 million , most of whom are Roman Catholics . Croatia has been inhabited since the Paleolithic Age . The Croats arrived in the area in the 6th century and organised the territory into two duchies by the 9th century . Croatia was first internationally recognized as an independent state on 7 June 879 during the reign of duke Branimir . Tomislav became the first king by 925 , elevating Croatia to the status of a kingdom , which retained its sovereignty for nearly two centuries . During the succession crisis after the Trpimirović dynasty ended , Croatia entered a personal union with Hungary in 1102 . In 1527 , faced with Ottoman conquest , the Croatian Parliament elected Ferdinand I of Austria to the Croatian throne . In October 1918 , in the final days of World War I , the State of Slovenes , Croats and Serbs , independent from Austria-Hungary , was proclaimed in Zagreb , and in December 1918 it was merged into the Kingdom of Serbs , Croats and Slovenes ( renamed the Kingdom of Yugoslavia in 1929 ) . Following the Axis invasion of Yugoslavia in April 1941 , most of the Croatian territory was incorporated into a Nazi-backed client-state , the Independent State of Croatia .
The Cikta is a breed of domestic sheep from Hungary . In the 18th century , this breed was brought to Hungary by German settlers . This breed grows wool but is primarily raised for meat . The Cikta belong in the Mountain Group of sheep breeds .
Hungary ( Hungarian : Magyarország [ ˈmɒɟɒrorsaːɡ ] ( listen ) ) is a country in Central Europe . Spanning 93,030 square kilometres ( 35,920 sq mi ) in the Carpathian Basin , it borders Slovakia to the north , Ukraine to the northeast , Romania to the east and southeast , Serbia to the south , Croatia and Slovenia to the southwest , and Austria to the west . With about 10 million inhabitants , Hungary is a medium-sized member state of the European Union . The official language is Hungarian , which is the most widely spoken Uralic language in the world , and among the few non-Indo-European languages to be widely spoken in Europe . Hungary 's capital and largest city is Budapest ; other major urban areas include Debrecen , Szeged , Miskolc , Pécs and Győr . The territory of modern Hungary was for centuries inhabited by a succession of peoples , including Celts , Romans , Germanic tribes , Huns , West Slavs and the Avars . The foundations of the Hungarian state were established in the late ninth century CE by the Hungarian grand prince Árpád following the conquest of the Carpathian Basin . His great-grandson Stephen I ascended the throne in 1000 , converting his realm to a Christian kingdom . By the 12th century , Hungary became a regional power , reaching its cultural and political height in the 15th century . Following the Battle of Mohács in 1526 , Hungary was partially occupied by the Ottoman Empire ( 1541-1699 ) . It came under Habsburg rule at the turn of the 18th century , and later joined Austria to form the Austro-Hungarian Empire , a major European power . The Austro-Hungarian Empire collapsed after World War I , and the subsequent Treaty of Trianon established Hungary 's current borders , resulting in the loss of 71% of its territory , 58% of its population , and 32% of ethnic Hungarians .
The Cine Capari is a domesticated breed of sheep originating from Aydin Province in Turkey . In 1998 , there were 300 Cine Capari and the population was decreasing . The Cine Capari is a fat-tail breed . The decline in population has been due to local farmers crossing this breed with the Chios with the purpose of creating a more prolific offspring .

They are a multi-purpose animal , kept for meat , wool , and milk . Like other dark faced sheep , Clun produce quality lamb and mutton . However , in contrast to more common meat breeds such as Suffolks , their wool is free of undesirable black fibres and kemp , and is suitable for handspinning . The breed 's alert and stylish appearance , together with its reputation for hardiness and fecundity have made it popular with hobby farmers and large commercial flock owners alike . The Official Clun Sheep Breeders Society Show & Sale for males and females is held annually in early September at Ludlow livestock market by McCartneys .
