Algerian Arab sheep, also recognized as Ouled Jellal or Western Thin-tailed sheep, are a prevalent breed spread across Algeria, particularly thriving in arid climates. Thought to have evolved from the Tadmit sheep native to Algeria, they are well-suited to endure harsh environmental conditions.
Primarily bred for meat, Algerian Arab sheep also provide carpet-grade wool, though meat production is their primary purpose. They boast a white coat and possess elongated legs, contributing to their adaptation to arid regions.
In terms of physical characteristics, males of this breed are typically horned, while females are polled, meaning they lack horns. These features contribute to their distinctive appearance and functionality within their native environment.
