The Waldschaf sheep of Germany is a member of the dual-coated landrace. A direct descendent of the Bavarian Zaupelschaf, it is a very old breed that used to be wide spread. It is a small, robust, and frugal landrace, with a calm disposition, high fecundity, and a non-seasonal breedingcycle. It can be bred twice a year and twins are the norm. The breed has delicate limbs and hard hoofs. The head is straight, but can be slightly curved on the ram. Ears stick out sideways or hang slightly. Research Waldschaf
