Brief Navajo Churro History: The Churra, a traditional Spanish sheep breed, was the very first breed of sheep in the New World. Imported in 1598, by the Spanish explorer Juan de Onate, their name is Spanish for "scrub". The original Spanish Churra were a tough sheep, adapting quickly to the harsh conditions of the American Southwest.

Although it is used as a meat source, the Navajo-Churro remains best known for its wool. The fleece is composed of an inner coat of fine wool fibers providing good insulation and a protective outer coat of long coarse hair which sheds the snow and rain.
