Named "Sheep and Sheep Breeds" rather than the bare species-class name "Sheep" for the same exact-namesake reason as cattle: the plain name collides with the atlas own base-species entity named Sheep.

Does not belong here: goats, a related but separate domesticated species, held under Goats.FactsAll Sheep and Sheep BreedsSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonPrimary Husbandry ProductWell-attestedMulti-Purpose 1All Sheep and Sheep BreedsFilter Results41 entriesPrimary UsesAllDual purpose: raised for both wool and meat (1)Multi-purpose: milk, meat, pelts and wool (1)Wool, meat, milk (1)Era (Domesticated When)Allbetween 11,000 and 9,000 BC (3)circa 9000 to 8500 BC from the mouflon (1)Part OfAllSheep (20)Breed Risk StatusAllEndangered (4)Not at Risk (6)Domestication RegionAllAustralia (1)Barbados (1)Brazil (1)England (1)Finland (1)France (1)Greece (1)Iceland (1)India (1)Israel (1)Mesopotamia (4)Netherlands (1)New Zealand (1)Pakistan (3)Russia (1)South Africa (1)Switzerland (1)The Iberian Peninsula (1)The Middle East (1)United Kingdom (10)United States (2)BrowseCompareSelect all 41Assaf SheepSheep and Sheep BreedsAwassiSheep and Sheep BreedsBarbados Blackbelly SheepSheep and Sheep BreedsBorder LeicesterSheep and Sheep BreedsCheviot SheepSheep and Sheep BreedsChios SheepSheep and Sheep BreedsCholistani SheepSheep and Sheep BreedsClun Forest SheepSheep and Sheep BreedsCorriedaleSheep and Sheep BreedsDamani SheepSheep and Sheep BreedsDorperSheep and Sheep BreedsDorset HornSheep and Sheep BreedsEast Friesian SheepSheep and Sheep BreedsFinnsheepSheep and Sheep BreedsHampshire DownSheep and Sheep BreedsHerdwick SheepSheep and Sheep BreedsIcelandic SheepSheep and Sheep BreedsJacob SheepSheep and Sheep BreedsKajli SheepSheep and Sheep BreedsKarakul SheepSheep and Sheep BreedsKatahdin SheepSheep and Sheep BreedsLacaune SheepSheep and Sheep BreedsLeicester LongwoolSheep and Sheep BreedsLincoln SheepSheep and Sheep BreedsLohi SheepSheep and Sheep BreedsMerinoSheep and Sheep BreedsMorada Nova SheepSheep and Sheep BreedsNavajo-Churro SheepSheep and Sheep BreedsPoll DorsetSheep and Sheep BreedsRambouilletSheep and Sheep BreedsRomanov SheepSheep and Sheep BreedsRomney SheepSheep and Sheep BreedsScottish BlackfaceSheep and Sheep BreedsSheepSheep and Sheep BreedsSouthdown SheepSheep and Sheep BreedsSuffolk SheepSheep and Sheep BreedsSwaledale SheepSheep and Sheep BreedsTexel SheepSheep and Sheep BreedsTunis SheepSheep and Sheep BreedsValais BlacknoseSheep and Sheep BreedsWiltshire Horn SheepSheep and Sheep BreedsSources1.
