About Rahmany Sheep

Rahmany, or Rahmani, sheep have their origins in northern Syria and northern Turkey, and they were brought into Egypt during the 9th century. The breed derives its name from Rahmania, a village located in the Beheira Governorate of Egypt.

These sheep are noted for their believed resistance to internal parasites and their ability to breed throughout the year, with a relatively high rate of twinning. Among the Egyptian sheep breeds, Rahmani sheep are the largest in size.

Rahmani sheep produce coarse or carpet wool and are characterized by their fat-tail. They typically have a brown coat, which tends to fade with age.
