Tong

Tong sheep originate from Mongolian sheep. They are able to withstand unfavorable environmental conditions and are found in the high plains of the northern Shaaxi Province of China, where the average temperature is 13°C and annual precipitation is 520 to 600 mm (20-24 in). Their wool is carpet wool. Wool production is low.

Tong sheep have the ability to deposit fat in the tail. Tong lambs have beautiful curls that look like pearls. Coats made from the pelts provide warmth with light weight.
