The Karakul sheep, commonly refered to as the "black diamond of Namibia", is very well adapted to Namibia’s arid conditions. They are mainly kept for the production of pelts, and because this farming method is often shrouded with controversy, its rich and colourful history, and its particular economic role in Southern Namibia, is often overlooked.

Seven karakul sheep, 4 ewes and 3 rams, were imported during 1907 from central Asia to Namibia.
We only have black and white karakul sheep, but grey and brown is also to be found.
