Navajo Churro Sheep, 8”x8’, oil on canvas, framed and ready to hang.

Navajo Churro Sheep, an ancient breed cherished by the Navajo people, excel in grass-based forage systems due to their remarkable hardiness and adaptability. Renowned for their ability to thrive on sparse vegetation and withstand harsh environments, Churros efficiently convert forage into meat and fiber.Navajo-Churro fleece is double coated. The inner coat fiber is fine to medium and is protected by a long outer coat that is medium to coarse. The highly lustrous wool is low in lanolin and may be spun directly from the raw fleece—eliminating resource consuming washing and carding.
