This article is about the sheep breed. For the goat breed, see Ciavenasca goat.
The Ciavenasca is a breed of small domestic sheep from the province of Sondrio, in Lombardy in northern Italy.[2] It is raised in the mountainous terrain of the Val San Giacomo, the Val Bregaglia and the Valchiavenna, from which the name of the breed derives.[3][4] It is raised only for meat; the wool is of very poor quality, and the milk is sufficient only for the lambs.[5] It is one of the forty-two autochthonous local sheep breeds of limited distribution for which a herdbook is kept by the Associazione Nazionale della Pastorizia, the Italian national association of sheep-breeders.[4]
In 2013 total numbers for the breed were not reported.[6] A population of 3300 was reported in 2003.[2]
