About Tyrol Mountain Sheep

Tyrol Mountain Sheep are found in Tyrol of Austria and Bolzano of Italy. They are a coarse wooled breed, belonging to the Lop-eared Alpine group, which is kept for meat production.

Tyrol Mountain sheep are similar to Carinthian sheep but they have better wool, a white face and longer ears. They are also occasionally pied or black. Both sexes are polled. Tyrol Mountain sheep originated from the Bergamasca, Steinschaf, and Spiegel variety of Carinthian sheep.
