About Ossimi SheepAbout Ossimi Sheep



Ossimi sheep, originating from the Ossim village in the Giza Governorate of Egypt, hold a prominent position among the Nile and Delta sheep breeds, renowned for their adaptability and widespread popularity. These sheep are believed to be expanding their range, potentially displacing other breeds in the process.

Adapted to variable conditions, Ossimi sheep are commonly raised under intensive cropping systems. They are characterized as medium-sized sheep, featuring a narrow frame, shallow body, and long legs. Their distinct coat is multi-colored, typically exhibiting a white base with a brown head, neck, and legs. Known for their resilience, Ossimi sheep are prized for their coarse or carpet wool, which serves various purposes.

One notable trait of Ossimi sheep is their fat tail, a characteristic common among many sheep breeds adapted to arid and semi-arid environments. Additionally, male Ossimi sheep, known as rams, typically exhibit horns, adding to their distinctive appearance and serving various functions in their natural environment. Overall, Ossimi sheep represent a valuable genetic resource in Egyptian sheep husbandry, valued for their versatility and ability to thrive in diverse agricultural settings.
