Romanov is a breed of domestic sheep originating from the Upper Volga region in Russia. These domestic sheep got the name Romanov from the town of the same name. In the 18th century, these sheep were first noticed outside of Russia. Soon after, they were imported to Germany and then to France. In 1980, 14 ewes and 4 rams were bought by the Canadian government and were quarantined for 5 years.[1] After the testing, some of the Romanov breed was brought into the United States. The distribution of this unique breed is worldwide.[citation needed] This breed is raised primarily for meat.[2]
