Navajo-Churro

More than Four Hundred Years Ago ... ... the first Churro sheep were brought into the Southwest by Don Juan Onate. The fact that these sheep still exist today is a testimony to their endurance and endearment. No other sheep population in the history of the world has survived such selective pressure with such dignity and spirit.

Navajo-Churro sheep carry the polycerate gene which allows them to produce multiple horns, and both rams and ewes can be horned or polled. They are a small to medium size breed with ewes weighing form 85 to 120 pounds and rams ranging from 120 to 175 lbs. Navajo-Churro wool comes in a wide range of natural colors, is classified as coarse and is composed of three distinct types .

Churros are considered a multipurpose breed, meaning they can be used for wool production, meat, and milking. Our focus is on the wool. Registered and register-able breeding stock, in many colors, are available, as well as raw wool, some roving, and finished items.
