The Blackheaded Somali is Somali breed of domestic sheep. It is one of two breeds of sheep reported by Somalia, the other being the Somali Arab. It is white with a black head; it is a hair sheep, is polled, and belongs to the fat-rumped group of breeds. It is distributed throughout Somalia, in Djibouti, in eastern Ethiopia, in northern Kenya and as far as the Toposa region of south-eastern South Sudan.[4]: 916 [5]
