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.

Even though the Navajo-Churro breed still exists, it is considered a Rare Breed. The gene pool is presently large enough to maintain the breed type with the diversity of available unrelated lines. Fortunately for breeders, a well established network of registered stock is available, scattered throughout the US and Canada.


Join us in conserving and promoting this heritage breed that still provides wool for the nation's professional fiber artists and is a vital food in many Southwestern homes. This breed could slip into extinction without your participation. Put a few in your pasture.
