Description
Several types of wild sheep that have straight Hair rather than curly Wool. Hair sheep, though classified as sheep, visually resemble goats and are found in the mountainous regions of India, China, South America, and Africa. Leather produced from hair sheep is very soft and kid-like. It is called Cabretta leather. The soft white hair from sheep is used in hake brushes.
