Karakul Sheep - Origin of breed is Russian.
Unborn / newborn lamb is used to produce Astrakhan for fleece. Namibia, Africa.
The newborn lambs usually have tightly curled black fur and are skinned before they are three days old to provide the commercial lambskin for which the sheep are raised. The finest pelts are obtained from unborn lambs
