Etymology

The name 'Karakul' comes from the Persian words 'kara' meaning 'black' and 'kul' meaning 'lake'. This breed has a long history, believed to have been present for over a thousand years. Karakul sheep are traditionally raised in the arid regions of Central Asia, where their resilience to extreme weather conditions allowed them to thrive. Over the centuries, their wool has been utilized for a variety of purposes, from clothing to lavish ceremonial garments. The breed has a significant cultural importance, especially among nomadic shepherds in the region, who value the sheep not only for their wool but also for the meat and milk they provide. With time, the Karakul breed gained recognition worldwide, leading to various crossbreeding efforts to enhance its qualities, including better wool production and adaptability to different climates.
