Hazaragie

The Hazaragie, often written Hazaragi in English sources, is a locally recognized sheep type associated with Afghanistan's central highlands and Hazara pastoral communities. It is best treated as a landrace of domestic sheep rather than a tightly standardized show breed. Flocks may include hardy, medium-sized animals with coarse wool, variable dark or pied colouring, and bodies suited to walking between village grazing, crop aftermath, and mountain range.

Management is usually smallholder or pastoral, with sheep supplying meat, milk, wool, manure, and sale animals according to local need. Selection tends to favor survival, lambing ability, and use of sparse seasonal forage more than uniform appearance. Anyone documenting or conserving Hazaragie sheep needs local flock histories, since names may be used by region, people, or market type rather than by formal registry.
