What breeds of sheep do we know?

The breeds of sheep are divided according to certain tasks according to the zoological and production systems.

The first type of classification is built on the characteristics of the tail and its length, and not on the size of the skull, as it does in other animals. The fact is that historically there was such a situation, in which the most significant differences between classes of sheep were displayed on the tail.

The length of the tail is not calculated in magnitude, but takes into account the moment, whether the tip of the tail reaches the hocks or is lowered.

As for the form, the quality feature is the presence of fat deposits along the length of the caudal vertebrae, as well as their appearance.

Zoological classification was first developed by the naturalist Pallas.

One of the species of this system is the meat breed of sheep, named so by the number of meat-and-salinity productivity. The main characteristic is that these sheep are well adapted to grazing all year round, regardless of the severity of the natural conditions. If they are fed properly, they accumulate large fat reserves over the year, which are deposited around the root part of the tail. These fat deposits of meat breeds of sheep are expended when colds, ice begin, and also in summer during the burning out of grass and interruptions with liquid.

As for Russia, today the number of sheep's meat breeds has decreased. The most common of these are Romanov, Edilbaev, Texel sheep, as well as gissar and jaidara.

Note that the Edilbaevian sheep breed is characterized by a strong physique and developed fatty deposits in the tail area. The main emphasis in the breeding of these sheep is that they receive high meat productivity. If you plant them correctly, then you can do business on this. For example, the peculiarity of this breed of sheep is that it is necessary to increase the specific growth of the queens in a flock, because they add a gain to the entire herd. Then we note that lambs do not need to be kept for more than 4-5 months because their growth rate is significantly reduced. Then their content simply becomes unprofitable.

If you determine the quality of meat of this breed, then it should be noted that lamb meat is very popular, and dishes from it in many countries are considered recognized delicacies.

If a person starts selling products, you need to make sure that the market has been adjusted for a long time. Many manufacturers seek to enter into long-term contracts to secure a stable income and to forecast the number of livestock so that the business is stable.

As for the sheep breeding in the countries of the post-Soviet space, in particular, Russia, here there are about 60 breeds.

Those who do this know that to maintain a successful herd, it is necessary to observe territorial conditions. Recently, all breeds of sheep that are distributed in the country are grown exclusively as an industrial product, which requires certain investments. Therefore, to justify the corresponding costs can only be by keeping those of them that are able to later provide many types of products. As a consequence, new breeds are being introduced or improved already, in order to increase the level of production of wool, meat and increase the fertility of animals. Ptom very often used not only cultural, but also native species.

The matter is that such animals possess high resistance to diseases, therefore they can be grown not by territories with the most extreme conditions of habitation and grazing.
