Turkey, most of the Middle East, Arabia, central Asia, Mongolia, western
China, northern India, and several other places. Around 25% of the world´s
sheep are fat-tailed, according to The Oxford Companion to Food. There are
several hundred breeds, and they seem to originate around the 4th millenium
BC.
