Domesticated Animals
Norwegian Sheep and Goats
The Norwegian White Sheep is the most common sheep breed in Norway and is a cross between several breeds. Breeding is managed by the Norwegian Association of Sheep and Goat Farmers, which also freezes sperm for long-term storage. The breed is valued for its favourable production traits and is known for its fertility, rapid growth, and meat quality. The wool is typically fine and crossbred with no medullated fibers, making it ideal for knitting.
The Norwegian Dairy Goat was domesticated in prehistoric times and is the most widespread goat breed in Norway. It is developed through collaborative efforts with early local goat breeds and, to some extent, foreign breeds. Dairy goats can vary significantly in appearance. On average, a dairy goat produces 700 litres of milk annually.
