  • Do You Know...

    Native Wallachian sheep were introduced to modern-day Slovakia during Wallachian colonization in the 13th and 14th centuries. They belong to the group of the Balkans' "coarse-wool" sheep population. In Slovakia, they have been bred for generations at altitudes ranging from 600 to 1200 meters. They are currently bred as a genetic reserve in both the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
