Racka sheep, also known as Hungarian Racka, are a unique and distinctive breed of domestic sheep that originated in Hungary. They are known for their distinct spiral-shaped horns that can grow up to 20 inches in length. The breed is believed to have descended from the Asian mouflon sheep.
Racka sheep are characterized by their long, curly wool that can be white, black, or a mixture of both colors. Their wool is prized for its quality and is used in traditional Hungarian crafts such as rug-making and tapestry weaving.
These sheep are well-adapted to harsh and rugged environments, making them suitable for grazing in mountainous regions. They are hardy and resilient animals that can withstand cold temperatures and rough terrain.
Racka sheep are primarily raised for their meat, which is lean, flavorful, and sought after by many gourmet chefs. They are also used for their wool, milk, and leather.
In recent years, efforts have been made to preserve and promote the Racka breed, as their numbers have declined due to competition from more commercial breeds. Conservation efforts are ongoing to protect this unique and valuable breed of sheep.
