The Rambouillet sheep breed is a noble-looking breed which originally comes from France - the product of breeding local stock with Germany's Spanish Merino. Rambouillet sheep are the most common breed and perhaps the first of the U.S western area sheep flocks. Many consider this breed the foundation of the US sheep industry.

In 1914, the Corriedale was introduced to the U.S.
