Debouillet
The Debouillet is a distinctive sheep breed renowned for its excellent wool quality and hardiness. Developed in New Mexico in the early 20th century, this breed is a cross between the Delaine Merino and the Rambouillet, combining the best traits of both parent breeds. Debouillet sheep are medium to large-sized with a robust frame well-suited to thrive in arid climates, making them particularly advantageous for ranchers in dry, open areas. Their dense, fine wool is highly prized for its softness and high crimp, comparable to that of Merino wool, making it an ideal choice for fine textiles and knitting yarns. Debouillet sheep exhibit strong flocking instincts and are known for their adaptability, resilience, and ease of management. Their ability to efficiently convert forage into weight gain, alongside their wool production, makes them a dual-purpose breed appreciated for both meat and wool. With their unique heritage and strong performance in challenging environments, Debouillet sheep remain a valuable asset to breeders and wool enthusiasts alike.
