They come in all colors from white through every shade of the natural tones. An unimproved breed, they are frequently long legged with narrow bodies and show little inclination to put on fat. The sheep should have sound legs and straight top line which tends to slope to the dock in more primitive individuals. They can be horned or polled with a little wool on the poll and none on the cheeks, around or below the eyes or on the nose. The belly should have little or no wool. There should be no wool on the front or back legs. The fleece is high yielding with low grease content. Some sheep may have wattles and some have short ears.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-a61732f elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"a61732f\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-dbd142e elementor-hidden-tablet\" data-id=\"dbd142e\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c969536 scroll-motion-no elementor-widget elementor-widget-agrarium_image\" data-id=\"c969536\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"agrarium_image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t        <div class=\"image-widget\">\n            <div class=\"image-container image-style-default\">\n                <img class=\"main-image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.navajo-churrosheep.com\/ncsa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/BSF-BrownEwe.jpg\" alt=\"Photo Courtesy of Brown Sheep Farm\" \/>\n                            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n        \t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-66 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-d049e78\" data-id=\"d049e78\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3c85744 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3c85744\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t<p align=\"left\"><b><span style=\"color: #996633;\">Size<\/span><\/b><br \/>Mature ewes weigh approximately 85 &#8211; 120 pounds.<br \/>Mature rams weigh approximately 120 &#8211; 175 pounds.<\/p><p><b><span style=\"color: #996633;\">Color<\/span><\/b><br \/>Specific color patterns with accepted international genetic names will be used where possible to describe sheep for the registry.
