Explanation

The West African Dwarf (WAD) sheep is common in Nigeria, particularly in the south. Known for meat production, disease tolerance, and adaptation to humid tropical conditions.

Other Nigerian sheep breeds include Yankasa and Uda (northern Nigeria), primarily for meat and occasionally wool-like hair.

Nigerian sheep are generally hair sheep (not wool sheep) adapted to tropical heat. They are important for small-scale farmers as a source of meat and income.
