KARACHAEV EWE 



Figure 28. This is one of the typical broadtail breeds found in North Caucausus and 

 Asia Minor. They frequently have more than two horns. Many broadtail sheep are found 

 in Central Asia, Asia Minor, and Southeast Europe. With the exception of the Karakuls, 

 none of them produce skins having tight surls.

RUSSIAN SHORTTAILED AND LONGTAILED SHEEP 



Figure 29. On the left is a shorttailed ewe of the breed called Korotkochoostja by the 

 Russians. On the right is a longtailed Sokoliev ewe. All the domestic breeds of sheep in 

 this country are long tailed, but this type has only a very unimportant place among the 

 Asiatic breeds. These sheep were photographed in the province of Poltava, European Russia.
