The sheep

The Latxa sheep is a small rustic animal - a dairy sheep that produces a limited quantity of milk

• About 100 litres per season, mainly from February to June.
• But of a high quality. It is a resistant animal, a good transformer of pastures and excellent nurturer of lambs. But Latxa sheep (and Carranzanas), as well as producing a high quality milk, have high added value in other differentiated aspects.
