Guirra (also known as Levant Red, Sudat) is a breed of domesticated sheep found in Spain. Most recently, the Guirra has been bred mostly for meat.[1]
Characteristics
Lambs have a reddish-brown fleece. Their wool lightens as they mature to a red and cream color mixed fleece.[2]
The ears, medium in size, project horizontally from the top of the head. The fleece covers the trunk, neck, and part of legs. The Guirra does not grow a dense wool and is considered to be quite greasy.[1]
