Old Norwegian Sheep The Old Norwegian Sheep (Norwegian: Gammelnorsk sau) is likely the breed that most closely resembles the original Northern European short-tailed sheep in Norway. Although the breed almost went extinct at several points in the last century, conservation efforts has succeeded in growing the population to around 30,000 animals and the breed is no longer considered threatened. The breed is particularly suited for being kept outside all year, a practice that stems back to the Viking Age.

Smen Smen (from Arabic: سمن or سمنة‎ ‎ also called "sman", "semn", "semneh", or "sminn") is salted fermented butter, an important cooking ingredient widely used in Algerian cuisine and most common in other North African and Middle Eastern cuisines. It is produced using the butter made from the milk of sheep, goats or a combination of the two. The butter is brought to boiling point for about 15 minutes, then skimmed, strained into a ceramic jar called a "khabia", and salted before it curdles. Thyme is often added to it to provide a yeast and enzyme starter. Other plants or fruits can be used. The result is then aged, often in sealed containers. It is then traditionally buried in the ground for temperature stability purposes, just like cheese is left to mature in underground caves because they have cooler and more stable temperatures.

Rideau Arcott The Rideau Arcott is a breed of domestic sheep native to Canada. One of only a few livestock breeds native to the country. It was produced from a breeding program that was created in 1966 by Agriculture Canada’s Animal Research Centre in Ottawa; other breeds that were produced from the same program include the Canadian Arcott and the Outaouais Arcott. Their goal when creating the Rideau Arcott was to create a breed of sheep that produced multiple offsprings rapidly. They introduced new technologies in quantitative genetics, reproductive physiology, nutrition and housing that allowed them to select for the traits they wanted to be expressed in the breed. The research flock was closed in 1974, and the breed was distributed to shepherds beginning in 1988.

Amrit Mahal The Amrit Mahal (Kannada:ಅಮೃತ ಮಹಲ್) cattle, hitherto known as "Benne Chavadi" , is a breed of cattle that originated from the erstwhile state of Mysore in Karnataka, India. They originated from the Hallikar breed cattle which were bred with the then existing closely related breeds, "Hagalavadi" and "Chithradurg". Originally developed for use in war for transporting equipage, the bullocks are notable for their great endurance and speed. Their head is elongated with a ridge in the middle and a bulging forehead. The cows in contrast are poor milk-yielders and hence, are classified to be a draught breed. It is one of the two breeds, along with Hallikar, which have received the royal patronage and care from the erstwhile Vijayanagara Kingdom, sultans and princely state of Mysore through conservation and development. The present day existence of places with names "kaval" or "Kaaval" (Kannada:"ಕಾವಲ್") in southern regions of Karnataka, which are the vast tracts of lands which were reserved to conserve and develop this breed of cattle in the Old Mysore region of Karnataka, stand as testimonies to the legacy of the Amrit Mahal breed.

Rambouillet sheep The Rambouillet is a breed of sheep also known as the Rambouillet Merino or the French Merino. The development of the Rambouillet breed started in 1786, when Louis XVI purchased over 300 Spanish Merinos (318 ewes, 41 rams, seven wethers) from his cousin, King Charles III of Spain. The flock was subsequently developed on an experimental royal farm, the "Bergerie royale" (now "Bergerie nationale") built during the reign of Louis XVI, at his request, on his domain of Rambouillet, 50 km southwest of Paris, which Louis XVI had purchased in December 1783 from his cousin, Louis Jean Marie de Bourbon, Duke of Penthièvre. The flock was raised exclusively at the "Bergerie", with no sheep being sold for several years, well into the 19th century.
