description Generally two types of indigenous sheep can be differentiated the blackhead Persian or Somali sheep, a fat ramped sheep if the northern and North-eastern parts of Kenya, and the Red Masai, a fat-tailed sheep, more frequently to be seen in central and southern Kenya.

There are strong indications that under good management levels indigenous ewes are producing excellent crossbred lambs from Dorper sires.
