About Herik SheepAbout Herik Sheep



Herik sheep, also known as Amasya Herik or Heregi, are short, fat-tailed sheep originating from northern Anatolia in Turkey. They are a breed valued for their carpet wool, as well as for meat and dairy production. Similar to Daglic sheep, they typically have a white coat with dark spots on their head. While males of the breed are horned, females are usually naturally polled, meaning they do not have horns.
