All of them have played an important role in the commercial activities between the islands of the Mediterranean ever since.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>General data<\/strong><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-1039 size-full\" style=\"border: 0px none; margin: 20px 0px 20px 20px; float: right;\" title=\"The white Mallorcan sheep\" src=\"https:\/\/www.masmallorca.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/10\/Ovella-blanca3.jpg\" alt=\"The white Mallorcan sheep\" width=\"300\" height=\"266\" \/>According to the Association of breeders of the Mallorcan sheep, there are an estimated 6,500 pedigree bred animals. 2,500 of them are registered in the stud book. The most important product obtained is the meat.<\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Especially the young sheep are sold for gastronomic purposes as this meat is highly appreciated on the island because of its fine quality.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This grazing animal basically eats grass and spontaneous vegetation, such as weeds and almond leaves. However they are starting to depend more and more on sowed grass, so they can be fed directly. This allows breeders to plan production and the breeding of kids throughout the year.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1044\" title=\"The white Mallorcan sheep\" src=\"https:\/\/www.masmallorca.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/10\/Ovella-blanca4.jpg\" alt=\"The white Mallorcan sheep\" width=\"940\" height=\"578\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.masmallorca.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/10\/Ovella-blanca4.jpg 540w, https:\/\/www.masmallorca.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/10\/Ovella-blanca4-300x184.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 940px) 100vw, 940px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is the most spread ovine race on the Balearic Islands.
