Sheep cultural importance

For centuries, sheep have played a significant role in Kuwait’s culture and economy. These resilient animals are remarkably well-adapted to the country’s arid climate and provide a valuable source of meat, milk, and wool. Sheep are an integral part of many traditional Kuwaiti meals, enjoyed by people on a daily basis. They also hold religious significance during Eid al-Adha.

Sheep breeds in Kuwait

There are different sheep breeds in Kuwait. The Awassi breed, known for its resilience to harsh desert climates, is one of the most popular indigenous breeds in Kuwait. Awassi sheep are highly valued for their milk production, meat quality, and adaptability to arid environments.

Additionally, Kuwait imports other breeds such as Merinos, Dorpers, and Suffolks to augment its sheep population and diversify its genetic pool. Merino and Dorper sheep are valued for their high-quality meat and soft wool, making them versatile materials for crafting men’s clothes and women’s clothes.
