These sheep with their long staple of protective top coat and
soft undercoat are well suited to extremes of climate. Some rams
have four fully developed horns, a trait shared by few other breeds
of the world. The Navajo-Churro is highly resistant to disease,
and although it responds to individual attention, it needs no
pampering to survive and prosper. |

The ewes lamb easily and are fiercely protective. Twins and triplets
are not uncommon. The flavor of the meat is incomparably superior,
with a surprisingly low fat content. |
