Cine Capari

The Cine Capari is a domesticated breed of sheep originating from Aydin Province in Turkey. In 1998, there were 300 Cine Capari and the population was decreasing.[1] The Cine Capari is a fat-tail breed. The decline in population has been due to local farmers crossing this breed with the Chios with the purpose of creating a more prolific offspring.[citation needed]
