Characteristics and Genetics
The Friesland/OstFriesland region in northern Germany and Holland is where this well-known breed first appeared.

Both as a purebred milking breed and as a breeding stock for other milking sheep, East Friesians are used. When bred with other milk sheep breeds, they can increase milk production and the average number of lambs born.

These sheep are valued for their milking ewes because of their placid reputation. They struggle in big, crowded groups. They work better for domestic production, which often only needs one or two sheep. They are typically not utilized in industrial farms because of this.
Although these sheep are simple to tame, they still need to be in close proximity to people. The babies must be handled properly from the beginning, just as with any other animals, or they might not grow up to be as docile as you had hoped. The majority of people say that these sheep behave more like dogs than like regular sheep. They rarely butt, kick, or chase their owners and are not aggressive. They enjoy being cuddled, and some even claim to have taught them tricks.
