CALIFORNIA RED SHEEP

California Red Sheep are one of the truly American breeds that were developed right here in the United States. The breed came about not through some accidental crossing of sheep but rather through the careful scientific selection of genetic characteristics essential to the creation of a great breed of sheep. This work was done by Dr Spurlock of the University of California at Davis, California in the 1970s. These valuable characteristics of crossing Tunis and Barbados sheep were carefully preserved in the California Red Sheep breed by responsible breeders and a responsible Breed Registry.   Originally Dr. Spurlock's goal was creating a larger framed wool-less breed of sheep. His attempts to obtain the wool-less feature failed but the remarkable hybrid sheep with distinctive color, gentle disposition and resistance to most of the usual problems that beset the sheep grower was born.
Lambs are born a solid rust or cinnamon red color hair. As they mature, the hair color is retained on the legs and head can range from gold to dark cinnamon. The wool, as it grows out on the young animal, turns to beige or oatmeal in sharp contrast to the richly colored wool-free head and limbs. This transformation appears around 12-18 mos old or earlier depending on shearing.

The California Red sheep is also know as a multi functional sheep from its silky textured wool that has found a specialty market with hand spinners and weavers.  The staple length is 3-6” and measures 50 to 60 on the Bradford count system and averages about 30-35 microns in diameter. To their meat that is unequaled in tenderness and taste. Along with a delicate flavor, their meat also contains significantly less fat than that of the more common sheep breeds. To milk production.

today there are breeders and owners from coast-to-coast, as well as, in Canada. And over 2000 Reds have been enrolled in the California Red Sheep Registry, all of which are descended from Dr. Spurlock’s original flock.
