Cărăbaşă

Cărăbaşă is a regional sheep name from southeastern Europe, often understood as a black-headed or dark-marked type within local sheep traditions. Because the label can be unfamiliar outside its home area, it is safest to describe it as a local breed or strain rather than to assume a uniform international standard. Its practical identity is likely tied to mixed farm use, local adaptation, and visible markings.

Flocks using the Cărăbaşă name should keep notes on source, appearance, lambing, milk or meat use, and how animals perform under the grazing conditions where they are kept. That matters for conservation as much as for sales, since rare regional labels can be diluted quickly through unrecorded crossing. Buyers should ask for country, flock history, and the traits the breeder is actively preserving.
