A great friend of mine had taken an adventure to the Scottish highlands in 2023, and one of the iconic sheep that he brought back was a Racka. The breed originated in Hungary, however, over time their homelands expanded to the grassy gnolls of eastern Europe. Bred as an all-purpose and hardy sheep, they are excellent wool producers, and loved for their milk and meat. One famous trait the breed has are those near-vertical corkscrew horns.
It was an honour to be able to make that sheep for him, and as it hangs in his house, he remembers the beauty of his magical trip to Scotland every time. ✨
I love learning about new and old sheep breeds, comment below what your favourite kind of sheep is!
(Mine are the "desert dragons" 😉 )
