Muránská

Muránska is a breed of sheep originating from the Muránska planina region of Slovakia. These sheep are known for their hardiness and adaptability to mountain pastures. They are medium-sized animals with a long, slender body and a distinctive white fleece. The wool is dense and typically has a medium staple length. Muránska sheep are primarily raised for wool and meat production. They are well-suited to grazing on rough terrain and are often found in higher altitudes where other breeds might struggle. The breed has a history of being developed to thrive in the specific environmental conditions of the Muránska planina, making them a resilient and efficient livestock option for the region. Efforts are ongoing to preserve and promote the Muránska breed, recognizing its contribution to local agriculture and biodiversity.
