Namaste Farms has begun an upgrading program for Racka Sheep in the United States. Racka’s are a Hungarian breed which have beautiful long spiral horns in both rams and ewes. They are considered hardy and prolific. Their fleece weight can be as much as 6 lbs and has a fiber diameter of 12-40 microns. Their fleeces are highly sought after by handspinners due to their beautiful shades of reddish brown and their softness. Racka’s are extremely rare with less than 15 percentage Racka’s in the U.S. today. Namaste Farms has purchased (from Super Sire Ltd.) a substantial amount of Racka semen to insure the future of our breeding program. Our first percentage Racka’s were born this year and are beautiful. Ewe lambs born from polled mothers are developing substantial horns and are showing strong Racka characteristics. We are very excited!

I’ve been wondering if/when anyone would start breeding Rackas in the US! What breed are you using to breed up from? Wensleydales?
