Short summary
The Original Valachian sheep is a Slovak national breed and is well adapted to living in high-altitude pastures. The breed is currently endangered, and there is a lot of interest from breeders in understanding its characteristics, particularly with regards to horn and wool traits. We found specific genes associated with these traits, which can be very important for breeders who are working to preserve this endangered breed.
