  • This small breed of sheep was originally bred in West Africa for meat production, but has since been domesticated in Europe. Because these sheep do not have to be shorn, they are also used as grazers or kept as companions. The females do not have any horns, whereas the rams have spiral horns, a mane and throat ruff.
    The Cameroon Dwarf is a hardy sheep. It is normally brown with a black belly and black markings to the head and legs, has a hair coat, and in winter grows a fine undercoat which it sheds in springtime. Ewes have high prolificacy and mature early; they are capable of producing three crops of lambs every two years. Usually only a single lamb is born, but commercial sheep breeds will more commonly have twins or triplets. However ewes can only cope with twins as they only have two teats.
