My Joy in Raising Karakul Sheep

There's a special kind of joy that comes with raising Karakul sheep, a feeling that goes beyond the everyday tasks of caring for them. These sheep have captured my heart with their ancient lineage, their resilience, and the sheer beauty they bring to my farm. Watching them thrive in different seasons and seeing their lambs born with that stunning, curly fleece—is a constant reminder of nature's artistry and the enduring spirit of these incredible animals.

Raising Karakul sheep feels like being part of a living tradition, a bond that connects me to generations of shepherds who have valued these sheep for thousands of years. Their wool, so unique and versatile, is like a gift that keeps on giving—whether it's the soft, glossy fur of the lambs or the durable fleece of the adults that can be transformed into timeless textiles. Each fleece carries its own story, its own character, and working with it never ceases to amaze me.
