Esfahan Sheep Hunting

Esfahan sheep are a distinguished breed of domestic sheep that hail from the region surrounding Esfahan (Isfahan) in Iran. Males of this breed are typically horned, boasting large, spiraled horns, while females are usually polled, meaning they do not have horns. Known for their resilience in semi-arid environments, Esfahan sheep thrive by grazing on sparse vegetation. They are primarily raised for their meat and wool; the meat is highly regarded for its quality and is well-received in local markets, whereas the wool is valued for use in traditional weaving and crafts.
