Navajo-Churro
sheep are small, hardy sheep that are good at taking care of themselves.
They are grazers and browsers and will stand up on their hind legs to
eat leaves from low branches. They make very efficient use of any kind
of feed. Navajo-Churro ewes are great mothers that do not need your help
at lambing time, and they will stand and fight to protect their lambs
from predators. Twins account for 20 to 25 % of births. Navajo-Churro
rams are almost always gentle, even with the wildest looking horns.
Sheep of
Many Colors
The Navajo-Churro is fine a boned sheep that carries very little body
fat. Ewes typically weigh about 90 pounds, and rams about 150 pounds.
Their small size makes them easier and safer to handle in a farm flock
setting. They produce very good tasting meat that does not become strong
and “muttony” in older animals. Their double-coated fleece,
prized by spinners and weavers, truly sets this breed apart.
The
RT Davis Flock
We have been breeding
Navajo-Churro sheep on our farm next to the Rio Grande in San Pedro for
nearly 20 years. Our original stock came from Ingrid Painter’s Puddleduck
Farm, and USU’s Navajo Sheep Project. Our sheep have long, dense,
lustrous, double-coated fleeces that grow quickly. We have been selecting
for color variation, and we are still getting new colors. They are alert
and agile animals with open faces and bare legs. We sell individual animals,
and we have put together some very nice small flocks for several buyers.
Like all livestock, prices vary as animals vary. We will see that you
get the animals you want at a reasonable price.
If you are
interested in obtaining an animal for your flock, please send
me an email or call me to discuss prices, availability and delivery.
