The Breed
Why Awassi Fat-Tail Sheep
Awassi isn't a generic lamb breed — it's a fat-tail sheep, native to the Middle East, and specifically sought after for the quality of its meat. That's the whole reason we raise this breed rather than a more common commercial one.
A fat-tail breed, prized for its meat
Awassi sheep carry their fat reserve concentrated in the tail rather than marbled thin through the whole carcass — a trait that's shaped how the breed is valued for meat across the regions where it's been raised for generations. It's a hardy, dual-purpose breed, but meat quality is the reputation Awassi is best known for, and it's why our flock is Awassi rather than a more common commercial breed.
That tail fat — kuyruk yağı in Turkish, курдюк in Russian — is a big part of why people seek the breed out. Traditionally it's rendered down for cooking, threaded onto kebab skewers between pieces of meat, or cooked into plov.
Our flock is raised on pasture here at Marlboro Meadows Farm, the same way we raise our goats and chickens — outdoors, on our own ground, with no shortcuts. We also sell live Awassi breeding rams.
