China's national treasure small tail cold sheep is the best breed of sheep breeds in China, and has been rated as "universal" and praised as "Chinese national treasure" by domestic and foreign sheep experts.
The small-tailed cold sheep belongs to the local excellent breed of meat and fur combined use. Early sexual maturity, four seasons of estrus, multiple births and high yields, two births a year or three years of five births, each fetus has 3-5 lambs.

However, the small-tailed cold sheep are not perfect, and they also have some "fatal" shortcomings that are well known to sheep farmers, such as the climbing ability of purebred small-tailed cold sheep is much worse than that of goats, beach sheep, Mongolian sheep, Tibetan sheep, Gansu alpine fine wool sheep and other breeds, which are not suitable for perennial grazing in the depths of the mountains.

Although the purebred cold sheep have strong reproductive ability, the survival rate of lambs is average, and it takes a lot of effort to achieve a survival rate of about 80%.
