The Tiroler Bergschaf or Pecora Alpina Tirolese is a breed of domestic sheep from the mountainous Tyrol area of Austria and Italy.[1]: 288 [2] The name means "Tyrolean mountain sheep". It is raised throughout Austria[3] and in the autonomous province of Bolzano in Italy.[2]: 288 It results from cross-breeding between the Tiroler Steinschaf of the Tyrol with the Italian Bergamasca breed from the area of Bergamo.[4]: 78 This is variously reported as having taken place in the first half of the 19th century[3] and after the Second World War.[2]: 288
The Tiroler Bergschaf is one of the forty-two autochthonous local sheep breeds of limited distribution for which a herdbook is kept by the Associazione Nazionale della Pastorizia, the Italian national association of sheep-breeders.[4]: 78 In 2013 no total number for the breed was recorded in the herdbook.[5] In 2008 an Italian population of 12888 was reported to DAD-IS.[1]
The Austrian herdbook was opened in 1938; the population reported for Austria in 2012 was 12901 to 19000.[3]
