The variety of environmental and cultural conditions in each region in Indonesia causes differences in sheep rearing patterns, resulting in a variety of breeds, coat color patterns and types of horns of sheep being cultivated. The Bandung Regency area has a climate and environment that is suitable for raising livestock, so raising sheep has become a part of the culture in the area. Choosing flocks, coat color patterns and types of sheep horns that suit consumer needs can increase the selling value of sheep.
