About Santa Ines SheepAbout Santa Ines Sheep



Santa Ines is a breed of hair sheep found in Brazil. They are generally thought to be a cross of Morada Nova, a course-wooled Italian breed, Bergamasca, and a native coarse-wooled Crioula, followed by a period of selection or evolution for absence of fleece. Colors range from red, black and white and can be spotted or solid. They have large bodies, are long-legged and have large pendulous ears and are polled.

Rams do not have a throat ruff. They have a low litter size of 1.25. Mature weights of the ewes in the field fall between 40 and 50 kg. (88 to 110 lbs.), and if well fed, the rams can weigh as much as 100 kg (220 lbs).
