These sheep with their long staple of protective top coat and soft undercoat are well suited to extremes of climate.
Some rams have four fully developed horns, a trait shared by few other breeds of the world.
The Navajo-Churro is highly resistant to disease, and although it responds to individual attention, it needs no pampering to survive and prosper. The ewes lamb easily and are fiercely protective. Twins and triplets are not uncommon. The flavor of the meat is incomparably superior, with a surprisingly low fat content. Copyright 2001, Navajo-Churro Sheep Association.
